Granger Lake Trip

Four members of the Bastrop County Auddubon Society braved high winds on last  Wednesday to travel to Granger Lake in hopes of seeing some Whooping Cranes.  Two Whoopers were spotted off Friendship Park.  A list of species sighted is included.  The Red Tail hawk pictured was found on the north side of the dam.
