Here's the results of the weekly bird census at White Clay Creek State Park from Thursday, Jan. 15th. It was a beautiful day walking in the valley and out of the wind.Â
 https://ebird.org/tripreport/464196 The survey is all ready begining to produce prodigious results. The cumulative list is at 50 species. We added a new species that was not recorded on the previous census 50 years ago, Common Raven. Of course, Ravens were unknown in Delaware until 2010. We are also see lots of Pileated Woodpeckers, Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, and Purple Finches, more than 5x the numbers seen previously. Thanks to everybody that 's been out in the field.  The next census is Saturday, January 24th starting from the Hopkins Bridge Nature Center at 8 am. All birders are welcome, the walk takes 3-4 hours.  Good birding, Andy
