Cancelled due to weather- Winter bird walk

Red-tailed Hawks often hang above nearby woodlands waiting for a meal; while flocks of wintering sparrows feed near brushy edges. Of the Sparrows, the most common are Song, Field, and White-throated Sparrows but it is possible to view White-crowned and Savannah. During this winter bird walk it is likely that many of the Southeastern Woodpeckers.
