This was the first LSNY Family Walk, hopefully we will offer one again. We met on the Great Hill, near the restrooms at 10:30am and since the area was quite birdy we stayed up there for a while. On the Great Hill we observed several warbler species, a Brown Thrasher, a Yellow-billed Cuckoo, and had several kettles of Broad-winged Hawks flyover. We then walked down to the Pool and through the paths of the Loch before circling back to our starting point. We totaled 35 species for the morning and fun was had by all!
