I do when I have time. Yesterday I didn’t get to.
Horton Slough trail is usually very productive. I actually have a friend

had 70 species just on Horton Slough trail. So yes. Do the trails. You know
though…there’s no guarantees. The trail at Sandtown parking lot may catch
northward moving migrants as they cross the river.
