<p class="MsoPlainText">Twelve of us worked our way around the JBLM Eagle’s Pride Golf Course on a cool (33degF-41degF) but rather nice outing. Note: The JBLM Morale, Welfare, and Recreation powers that be have changed “Eagles” Pride GC to “Eagle’s” Pride GC.
After (number??) years that this golf course has been named “Eagles” Pride? How droll! Nonetheless, after nearly 10 years of birdwalk postings, we’re not changing our site name designation on eBird.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">At any rate, we all had a good time seeing some nice winter birds. Highlights include the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoPlainText" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">RED CROSSBILLS – 9 – and one of us had a great view for a lifer!<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoPlainText" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">MOURNING DOVE – 10 – down from 25 last month and 45 in December, but in the same tree<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoPlainText" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">RED-TAILED HAWK – flying over us at about 30 ft – the only raptor today<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The only mammals today were a few Douglas squirrels.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This was the last birdwalk of the winter that started at 9am. In March, and until next November, we’re starting at 8am.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The JBLM Eagles Pride GC birders meet the third Thursday of each month at 8:00AM. Starting point is Bldg # 1514, Driving Range Tee, Eagles Pride Golf Course, I-5 Exit 116, Mounts Road Exit. Upcoming walks include the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
