Made a few quick stops this afternoon while killing time between meetings. First stop was the West Woods Nature Center on Rt. 87. From the windows I observed: 4 male and 5 female cardinals 15 Pine siskins 11 Goldfinch 1 White throated sparrow 9 Am. Tree sparrows 2 White breasted nuthatches 1 red breasted nuthatch - interesting to view both at the same time to see how much smaller the Rb is Blue Jay Chickadees - lots Titmice - 6 Downy woodpeckers - 5 four of which were all there at the same time for quite a while 3 Hairy woodpeckers 2 Red bellied woodpeckers On the way out watched 2 red shouldered hawks chase each other around The I made a stop at Frohring Meadows - Walked around the path once - windy and too cold for how I was dressed. 4 Bluebirds 2 Crows 8 robins 1 killdeer - quietly hunkering down amongst the grasses 2 Red tails circling Good birding- Dan **************Need a job?
