Hi Everyone,
I birded the Water District this morning after seeing Janna's report on the Redheads and other ducks yesterday. I didn't see the Redheads, but the NORTHERN SHOVELER pair and some female BUFFLEHEADS were there, as well as many GADWALL and of course MALLARDS and geese. The CANADA GEESE were quite vocal.
My highlights were a WHITE-THROATED SPARROW on the pathway from the parking lot leading to the main building. The biggest surprise was a GREAT HORNED OWL passing the daylight hours further along the pathway.
