NAAS Rim Lakes Field Trip

On Saturday November 15th I was one of six birders on a NAAS trip, led by Tom, who headed out to look or water birds n Lake Mary Road. We had two Common Loons on Upper Lake Mary before heading up to Ashurst Lake, which was full of ducks and coot. We had no luck finding anything too exciting at the southern end, but had 2 Surf Scoter and 2 Bonaparte's Gulls when we switched to the north. We also saw several Cassin's Finches.

We ended the trip at the Mormon Lake overlook where we saw several Red-tailed and Ferruginous Hawks but the treat of the day was a pair of Golden Eagles that cruised past us very close.
