This was the third LSNY Family Walk, we had a fairly large group. We met on the Great Hill, near the restrooms at 10:30am we stayed up there for a while observing the birds. On the Great Hill we observed several warbler species and a Peregrine Falcon. We then walked down to the Pool and into the Loch where we got many more good birds. We totaled 35 species for the morning and fun was had by all!
