While I was studying for my Elements of Genetics exam. I observed the bird activity areound Kendall Lake and the surrounding forest. The water level was down from its present levels, which in turn gave way for great mudflat habitat for shore birds. Seen between the hours of 1:00- 2:30pm sunday, weather clear sky, upper 80s. Solitary Sandpiper (2) Killdeer Blue Jay American Crow Eastern Phoebe Eastern Pewee American Robin Chipping Sparrow House sparrow Turkey Vulture The rest of the birds were observed in the woods while I went for a run on the cross country trail.
