At Greenlawn Cemetery several birds of interest were observed.  One merlin
was perched on top of a sycamore near the bridge area.  At the thistle
feeders were several pine siskins.  Also the pine warbler which has been
feeding on suet all winter was active near the feeders.  Several
red-breasted nuthatches are still easily observed at the feeders.  At the
nearby Whittier Peninsula were several canvasbacks, common goldeneyes,
lesser scaup, hooded mergansers, and many American black ducks.  Also there
were several herring gulls mixed with the numerous ring-billed gulls.  At
the Darby Bend Lakes in Prairie Oaks Metro Park were quite a few species of
waterfowl.  All were located in one small section of open water near the
back section of the parking lot.  Species observed included canvasbacks,
redheads, ring-necked ducks, lesser scaup, ruddy ducks, gadwall, a
pied-billed grebe and many coots.
