bellied woodpecker, 2 Downy WP, WB and RB Nuthatches, 5 Mourning doves, BC 
chickadees, Sharp-shinned hawk (Hides in fir tree to ambush the Mourning 
doves coming to the platform feeder), 2 Blue Jays, 8 Cardinals, Dark-eyed 
Juncos, 2 Tufted titmice, severa European Starlings, a lone Song sparrow, 
a dozen House sparrows, an 6 Am. Goldfinches. The Sharp-shin took a strike 
at a Cardinal but missed. Drove behind Fremont Filtration plant: saw 1 
Great Blue Heron, 43 Mallards, 150 Canada Geese, hundreds of gulls 
(Herring & RB). Didn't see immature Bald Eagle, which is there practically 
all the time. Drove out Rt. 6 towards Pickerel Creek WA saw 4 Red-tail
