Last Saturday’s Dulles Wetlands walk was chilly but good! There were 15 people on the walk. Although is was a cold day, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The pond was partially frozen over so we didn’t see the ducks we had hoped for but fresh signs of Beaver could be found. You can see the full list of birds seen below.
