Osprey Nest Survey

Twice a month, Jeanette and I lead the Village Birders from Dallas Retirement Village on a bus birding trip.  This Thursday April 21st, the weather forecast was for rain, so instead of a lot of walking, I planned the trip to involve just traveling in the bus to stay warm and dry, and survey four different Osprey nests in West Salem.  Well, weather changes, and we had a nice day which allowed us to get out of the bus at four Osprey nesting sites: Murlark Ave, Bartell Dr, Patterson St, and Salem Audubon Nature Reserve.

Load-up is at The Lodge entrance at 9:00 AM

 
The bus ride always seems like the most fun.
