The breezy, wet , chilly weather kept the number of
birders down to
a dozen. But the birds were still around, despite the drizzle mixed
with
rain. Spring birds aren't really showing up yet (the Tree Swallows of
two
weeks ago notwithstanding). But we had a good variety of ducks, and our
resident birds (mostly all singing).
Highlights:
Cackling Goose One on the grass soccer fields
Barn Owl Hard to see in the nest box
Hairy Woodpecker Close looks along slough
Varied Thrush Heard singing across slough
Cedar Waxwing Flock of over 30 near Dog Central
Really, nothing terribly exciting, and nothing new for the year.
Still, 54 species, and some good looks at common birds, so not a bad
day.
