Since this list seems light on waterfowl, I should point out that most
of the species in my previous post were seen on the sewage pond from
the dike bordering her yard (I don't know whether these are being counted).

The following were fly-overs and should be counted regardless:
Double-crested Cormorant
Great Blue Heron

The probable Northern Shrike was also in/over her yard.
