Bird Walk Timothy Black guides Marion County outing in unseasonable cold
Last week Federated members joined Gladys Black for a bird walk at Marion County marsh near Red Rock Bluff. Canadian snow geese and canvassbacks stayed on the pond amid slim pickings as muskrats fed elsewhere. Elk Rock Park yielded three egrets and a flock of speckled waterfowl. The Paul Felsing home demonstration of bird banding showed many birds elude the net. Crowds learned from Mrs Black’s knowledge while some roads reminded readers that spring brings new familiarity with county traffic. The rest of the piece recalls gas mishaps, Knoxville riders, and a League of Women Voters program on bikes. A future Drake Relays parade appearance by Our Royal Five is noted, along with reminiscences of Baby Parade keepsakes and parade ideas including a bologna cart and spring St Nikolaas ideas.
