It was mostly clear skies on the bird survey today. Started off cold and calm with heavy frost, turning mild and windy in the afternoon. 74 species were found. Highlights include 3 Blue-headed Vireos (two at one location chasing each other), 2 King Rails, and a Common Goldeneye which are rare at Red Slough with only about half a dozen records over the past 20 years. I also found the Leucistic sapsucker again.
