<p class="MsoPlainText">Another gorgeous morning (58-72degF – clear skies) for the 22 of us at the JBLM Eagle’s Pride GC monthly birdwalk. One of the highlights today was a species most birders in our area wouldn’t put as a “highlight,” but was the first sighting
of this species here this year: BELTED KINGFISHER. A fly-through-the-forest GREAT HORNED OWL, seen by just a few of us, also made the “highlight” list; as well as finding all three typical vireos for the forest: HUTTON’S, CASSIN’S, and WARBLING. Other notables
include:<o:p></o:p></p>
