Too nice of a day to stay home!  Especially since I work tomorrow.  Headed up to Dike 14 Nature Preserve as I haven't been there since it opened to the public.  Disappointing in that the eastern half is off limits to the public;  thats where allot of good habitat is.  Are there plans to open more trails?   Still a great day to be out.  Highlights:
C.Redpoll- 2,  one very pink-breasted male
Redwing- 1
Canada Geese-51
Lesser Scaup- 1
Pied-billed Grebe- 2
Downy Woodpecker- 2
Coots- many

Stopped at Sims park on the way home.  Highlights:
Blue Heron- 1
Bufflehead- 1
C. Goldeneye- 13
Mallards- 2
Ringbill Gulls- 14
