Tweets - it was just the 3 Amigos again today - myself, Brian Bell, and
Ollie Oliver. The temps were right at and above the freeze. We had heavy
snow until we got to the lake platform, and then it switched to a mix of
rain and snow. There was more than a foot of snow on the ground to slog
through, and almost nobody else but us there. Not very birdy, and rather
damp by the end. But we did have some good sightings.

Highlights:

SNOW GOOSE 7 feeding near the Compost Piles along the road
They were there all morning
Wilson's Snipe Quite a few good sightings
Red-breasted Sapsucker One at the Rowing Club
Hairy Woodpecker Good looks just south of the Dog Meadow
Northern Shrike Flew over the Compost Piles
Townsend's Warbler At least 3 together, NE of the mansion,
low in the trees

Brian had the special honor of seeing the ONLY - singular - AMERICAN ROBIN

The total number of birds was quite low - only single birds for many other
species too.

Lots of ducks, though down to 9 species today.

I think we ended up with 44 species.
