A quick walk around this metropark yesterday morning found a chilly snow-covered landscape had forced birds to haunt the feeders.  Good thing, too, since the feeder bank at the Nature Center here is one of the best.  It didn't disappoint, with a variety of birds including six sparrow species (highlighted by Fox & Tree) and a very cooperative Red-breasted Nuthatch.  Around the trails were mostly woodpeckers, including a pair of Pileated along the Beech-Maple Trail and two Towhees around the feeders at the Ash-Maple lodge.
