[Tweeters] Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM) Eagles Pride Golf Course (GC) monthly bird walk - 1-19-2023

[Denis DeSilvis]

Tweeters,

A baker's dozen birders walked the JBLM Eagles Pride GC route Thursday 1/23 under foggy, cool conditions (34degF-40degF) for this first trek of the 2023 season. It was fairly quiet,but an enjoyable outing with a few notable sightings:



MOURNING DOVE - 25 - at the same location as last month (Dupont housing area)

AMERICAN ROBIN - 120 - with about 115 on the same fairway (hole 13) that we had all the Varied Thrushes last month. Must be good food here!

TOWNSEND'S WARBLER - First warbler of the year, thanks to Bryan!
