It was mostly clear, mild, and a bit windy on the bird survey today. 48 species were found. A lot of our smaller Passerines (wrens, warblers, sparrows, etc.) have apparently been pushed further south by the recent Arctic blast as they were in short supply today. With duck hunting season over now, the ducks have apparently dispersed throughout the nearby wetlands from the refuge area leaving few left on the large reservoirs. The levees were too wet to drive so I had to stay on gravel. Here is my list for today: Canada Geese - 2 Wood Duck - 1 Gadwall - 327 Mallard - 109 Northern Shoveler - 92 Northern Pintail - 25 Green-winged Teal - 14 Ring-necked Duck - 98 Bufflehead - 6 Ruddy Duck - 12 Pied-billed Grebe – 16 Double-crested Cormorant - 4 Great-blue Heron - 7 Black Vulture - 5 Turkey Vulture – 16 Bald Eagle - 1 adult Northern Harrier - 1 Red-shouldered Hawk - 8 Red-tailed Hawk - 2 American Kestrel - 2 American Coot – 750 Killdeer - 1 Greater Yellowlegs - 2 Ring-billed Gull - 1 Red-bellied Woodpecker - 1 Downy Woodpecker - 1 Northern Flicker - 1 Pileated Woodpecker - 2 Eastern Phoebe - 3 Loggerhead Shrike - 1 Blue Jay - 4 American Crow - 157 Fish Crow - 12 Carolina Chickadee - 6 Tufted Titmouse - 3 Carolina Wren - 3 Ruby-crowned Kinglet - 2 Eastern Bluebird - 2 Hermit Thrush - 1 Brown Thrasher - 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler - 3 Eastern Towhee - 2 White-throated Sparrow - 7 Dark-eyed Junco - 2 Northern Cardinal – 3 Red-winged Blackbird - 49 Meadowlark species - 1 American Goldfinch - 1 Herps: Red-eared Slider Good birding!
