Just had a couple hours here this afternoon (4 - 6pm). Most notable was an
American Pipit at the wetland and an Indigo Bunting under the power lines.
I took a few pictures

missed a bunch that I have not learned to identify by call alone.
According to the naturalist there have been at least 61 species seen here
since it opened this winter. Let keep reporting sighting data so they can
increase this list to a respectable number by the end of the year. Try a
walk through the woods to get exposure to a variety of habitats.
