You know what they say… Birds of a feather flock together.

Especially on Wednesday mornings at Cove East.

Led by the unflappable local birding expert, Don Harriman, Tahoe birders meet every Wednesday at 7:30 am at Cove East to identify the weekly progression of birds.

Here are the 36 species sighted on July 30, 2008.
