Year’s Day. Highlights include: one likely TUNDRA SWAN seen early and briefly by
Scott Somershoe at Anderson Rd Rec Area. Other notables include 3 Bald Eagles,
3 Merlins, 1 each Marsh Wren, Gray
Catbird, Orange-crowned Warbler, Lincoln's Sparrow and a high count on Chipping Sparrow (320+). Duck
variety was good with 13 species found. White-breasted Nuthatch (1) has finally
become a "regular" on this count. Notable misses include Wood Duck,
Wild Turkey, Herring Gull, Great Horned Owl and Brown-headed Cowbird.
