Tweets - Our first survey of the year was typical of this winter's surveys. The weather was better than expected (only a few short mizzle showers), and the birding was a little disappointing.
Highlights: Greater White-fronted Goose - Six in Lot K, with Canadas Cackling Goose - Flock of ~2000 landed and stayed on the grass soccer fields Anna's Hummingbird - Singing and displaying Bewick's Wren - Several singing
Overall, singing and quasi-singing is picking up.
Misses today included Green-winged Teal, Hooded Merganser (never missed before in the 1st week of January), American Coot, Killdeer, Ring-billed Gull, Cooper's Hawk, and Bushtit.
Despite that long list of misses, we still managed 46 First of Year (FOY) birds.
