I found the barred owl's nest, however, they weren't making a public appearance. But I did spot a red-bellied woodpecker. I then ventured on to Sandy Ridge Reservation, seeing the following: Great-horned owlet (on nest) Red-winged blackbirds Tree swallows (many) Bald eagle (on nest) Canada Goose Mallards Song Sparrow Gr Blue Heron Ring-necked ducks American Coots Buffleheads Greater Scaup Ruddy Ducks Am Wigeon N Shovelers Blue-winged teal Belted kingfisher Red-tailed hawk Am Robin Tufted titmouse Pied-billed grebe Am black ducks N Cardinal Killdeer Redheaded woodpecker Downy woodpecker Turkey vulture An absolutely beautiful day to spot birds!
