Our walk on Saturday, June 14 began as usual at 7:15 AM. It was around 75 degrees when we started. We all remarked that there was a noticeable reduction in the litter on the grounds around the paved trail. The Ponds were very low and so all the trash that is in them is now visible.There were no sightings on the surface of the ponds of the fish frenzies. Bonnie P. thinks that the fish are some type of cat fish. Bonnie got some good pictures of the Osprey. Gary had hustle to catchup with the lead group, since he was just getting back from taking his brother to the airport. We did see some bunnies and Pam, Marie and Mary saw a little animal that looked like a rat. The little Morehen birds were there and an over protective mother chased us and a passing jogger down the trail away from her babies. The same jogger took a picture of the group, so Tony was in the picture at the finish.
