Yesterday I saw an unusual American Robin on the west
side of the entrance road where the pedestrial trail
crosses the road (from the nature center, it would be
the second trail crossing the entrance road if you are
heading north).  The chin and throat, ear patch and
crown were all snowy white.  The forehead was black
and there was a distinct black eye line.  Even if the
bird has its back to you, you can detect the bright
white crown.  A complete list of birds I saw, mostly
on trail from the nature center to the pond:
