Tweets - Nine of us slogged through a day with weather that ranged from 'Eh?
to Uggh! Clouds, drizzle, light rain, wind; sometimes better than other
times. Never nice. The wind at the lake platform was really nasty. Not
too cold though, and no really hard rain; it could have been worse.

Birding was patchy and mostly not very good, though we had a couple of
surprises late. Our list ended up with a fair number of species (52), but
quite a few of those were seen by only one or two people, or were heard-only
birds. Still, it was a start for 2008.

Highlights:

Wood Duck 4 flushed from the boardwalk
Red-necked Grebe 1 surfaced near the RC dock
Peregrine Falcon Nice adult fly-by NE of the mansion
Barn Owl Apparently they gave quite a show early
Brown Creeper Seen at 3 disparate spots
W. Meadowlark 3 at grass fields N of compost piles
