January 9, 2010 I led a walk at the Wilkie unit this afternoon and while we did not find anything rare, there were lots of birds there. We hiked from the main parking lot over to Blue lake and the treatment plant. Here are a few of the species of birds we observed.

American Robin - 100s of American Robins were observed North of the main parking area and in the conifer grove West of the main parking lot.
