Walk lasted between 12:00 and 13:53

 

Even though Tournament Park was closed due to a sewage problem, we set a record for the week with 25 species observed. We broke the record by one and it could have been more as we didn’t get two birds we’ve been seeing quite regularly recently, the mockingbird and the raven. The prediction was 20.3, so we beat that by a good amount, 4.7 species. I guess the biggest surprise was the two American Robins. They were in the area south of IPAC. It was a great walk, and we didn’t need no stinkin’ Tournament Park!
