It is a bright, sunny, and cold morning with WNW winds, so it was tempting to reschedule for a warmer day. However, Renee LaFontaine and I spent a little over an hour this morning at Horn Pond and the bright sunshine and some very nice birds made it worth the trip. The highlights were:A pair of copulating Cooper's Hawks (the female was huge!)
2 Common Mergansers1 Swamp Sparrow1 Hermit Thrush1 Golden-crowned Kinglet 1 Brown Creeper1 Pine Warbler 1 American Coot1 Pied-billed Grebethe usual backyard birds and woodpeckersa mixed flock of very friendly and food-seeking chickadees and white-breasted nuthatches diving at uswhite throated sparrowscommon grackles and red-winged blackbirdsand of course many friendly dogs and an adorable little bernese-doodle puppy
