Trip Report: COS - Sierra Club LaBagh Woods - 2012 May 19
Geoff Williamson and Jill Niland lead the birding and nature walk at LaBagh Woods on Saturday, May 19. Even though it was very quiet, they found interesting "other-than-bird species." However, Geoff did a great job, as usual, of finding birds by ear.
Visit Geoff's website for lists of other wildlife from the trip and photos by Nathan Goldberg, including the 'star' of the show, which seemed to be trying to lay eggs, but that was possibly just trying to reach the other side of the railroad berm.
Below is a full list of bird species observed.
