I thought I'd check the day's postings before I sent out mine. Glad I did. Seems Charlie beat me to the punch on all the new finds I made today (except two!). Anyway, here's my list, mostly from Oxbow and Mudhen Marsh: (An "*" denotes first spring sighting for me) *Double-crested Cormorant (75+) Turkey Vulture Canada Goose Mallard Red-tailed Hawk American Coot (10+) *Killdeer (1 at Oxbow) Ring-billed Gull Mourning Dove Belted Kingfisher Red-bellied Woodpecker Downy Woodpecker *Red-headed Woodpecker (not in normal trees; between small dam and road at Mudhen Marsh) Eastern Phoebe *White-eyed Vireo (singing at Mudhen Marsh; took quite a while to spot it) Blue Jay American Crow Tree Swallow Carolina Chickadee White-breasted Nuthatch Winter Wren (1 at Mudhen) American Robin Brown Thrasher European Starling *Prothonotary Warbler (quite friendly/close just as one enters the woods at tip of Oxbow) Chipping Sparrow Song Sparrow Northern Cardinal Brown-headed Cowbird American Goldfinch House Sparrow (Heard but not seen: Eastern Towhee and Field Sparrow) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
