All-

It was cold, overcast, slick, and about 17 degrees F yesterday in Glen
Helen -- fitting weather for our first birdwalk of the new decade.  

We spent two hours in the north Glen, finding whatever birds weren't
scared off by the clomping of feet on frozen snow.  Almost every bird we
saw was found at feeding stations -- either at Trailside Museum or the
Outdoor Education Center bird blind.  Favorite sighting of the day was a
barred owl, which was roosting and hidden in a cavity in an old maple. 
When we walked past, it flew a short distance and everyone got great looks
at it.

Here is the complete list:

__________ Turkey Vulture
__________ Canada Goose
__________ Mourning Dove
__________ Barred Owl
__________ Red-bellied Woodpecker
__________ Downy Woodpecker
__________ Hairy Woodpecker
__________ Northern Flicker
__________ American Crow
__________ Carolina Chickadee
__________ Tufted Titmouse
__________ White-breasted Nuthatch
__________ European Starling
__________ White-throated Sparrow
__________ Dark-eyed Junco
__________ Northern Cardinal
