Falls Lake CBC



My other half and I birded the Lick Creek area of Falls Lake for the CBC
today.  I have never birded Falls Lake before, but I was able to finagle
the day off yesterday and I went and scouted out our count area.  My
thanks to Brian Bockhahn for compiling the count and letting us newbies
participate.
