Tweets - Another day with better weather than we have a right to expect at this time of the year. Temps in the high 40's with no wind or rain. It was a rather dark overcast, though, which made viewing a bit difficult. It was alternatingly birdy and quiet, except for the robins. There were just about always robins. Possibly even too many robins.
Highlights: Common Merganser - Just one high flyby, at 7:30. But first COME since early October Cooper's Hawk - Adult at Pea Patch stirred up a cloud of juncos Barn Owl - Two sightings pre-dawn (6:27 and 6:39 a.m.) from the model airplane field parking lot Hairy Woodpecker - One next to the dog swim beach at Dog Central gave great looks! Merlin -Quick flyby from the east end of the boardwalk Cedar Waxwing - One, with robins. Sightings of Cedars are sparse from late November to early May WHITE-THROATED SPARROW - Three seen simultaneously under the NW corner of the heronry. One had been seen moving away from that area a minute before, which might make four birds "EASTERN" Song Sparrow - Near the sheds on the east side of the East Meadow, where one was seen January through March this spring. American beaver - Three swimming around in the slough south of the Dog Area
Misses today included Cackling Goose, Common Goldeneye, Anna's Hummingbird, Killdeer, Pine Siskin, and American Goldfinch.
For the day, 53 species.
