Tweets,

A glorious morning, with just enough chill to remind us that it's still
winter. Meadows and trails at the park are still quite waterlogged after
all the recent rain.

A Barn Owl was back over the meadows, calling early and making several
close by passes. Wilson's Snipe were in the meadows as well.
A blue-banded juvenile, female Cooper's Hawk kept the passerines
twittering.
Mixed with the flock of starlings were 8 Western Meadowlark.
Over Kite Hill were 3 Barn Swallows.
Numbers of Scaup continue in the several hundreds, about a 4:1 ration
Greater to Lesser. Also, large numbers of Common Goldeneye and Common
Merganser.
A pair of Eurasian Wigeon were seen in the W Promontory Pond.
Numbers of Western Grebe lower than previous weeks, but a possible Clark's
or Western x Clark's Grebe hybrid was just off the sail dock at Pontiac
Bay. This may be the same bird Evan Houston described a month ago.

For the day, 59 species.
