Tweets - the sighting of the day was fog, as in, that's mostly what we
sighted. It didn't lift, really at all, until we got to the Rowing Club.
Otherwise, things weren't too bad - no rain, no wind, not too cold. But
gray, gray, gray, gray, and fairly birdless.

Highlights:

Cackling Goose Several hundred on grass fields
Great Blue Heron More than usual - 10?
Virginia Rail Responded to clapping
Wilson's Snipe At Rowing Club
Hairy Woodpecker At Rowing Club
Cedar Waxwing 5-10, getting late for them
Y.-rumped Warbler 1 near windmill
Pine Siskin Notably numerous - 200+

Matt had no owls early, but did hear a BEAVER. We also saw a MUSKRAT at the
Rowing Club.

I made a late run to the condos at the northwest end of the lake (I have
special permission to do quick surveys from there) to see if there was
anything on the lake - it had been completely fogged in when we were at the
lake platform. There were four adult BALD EAGLES visible, along with 12
PIED-BILLED GREBES and a COMMON MERGANSER male.

For the day, 52 species.
