Arryo Hondo Bird walk 3-7-15

Went on a Bird walk yesterday with 20 people and leader Ted Mullins, docent and Birder extraordinaire.  It always amazes me how some people can ID bird just by their call.

 I learned a few things and enjoyed the nature walk in this beautiful place, owned by the Land trust of Santa Barbara. Arroyo Hondo preserve is  open weekends by appointment.  I support the Land Trust, they are saving hundreds of acres to keep unspoiled and undeveloped in Central CA.
