Hi Everyone,
Thank you Margaret and Arlene for your great organization and leadership as you took u through your planned route. Thank you to Norma Nanni and Carole Lupton for the food, you and Arlene and Margaret provided. It was a feast extraordinaire. Also, thank you to Ian and Margaret for making your house available for lunch, a place to enjoy the treats and to socialize.
The Sandhill Cranes were out in great numbers and provided good looks as we made our way through the day. The waterfowl are slowly starting to migrate.
The weather was sunny and cool with light winds.
