Tweets - it was cold and blowy this morning, though it didn't rain,
thankfully. It was also pretty quiet, with the birds mostly staying
hunkered down. We didn't even see a Bewick's Wren until we got to the
Rowing Club, for example. But it was nice to be back birding at the park
again in a new year.

Highlights:

Gadwall 5 at weir
Common Goldeneye Several in slough
Hooded Merganser 10 total
Cooper's Hawk 1
Virginia Rail 1-2 responded to clapping
Anna's Hummingbird Male displaying near mansion
Hairy Woodpecker 1 near start of boardwalk
Northern Shrike 1 west of fields 7-8-9

For the day, 50 species. Mark & Lee Crawford had 2 TRUMPETER SWANS on
January 1, along with 5 other species we didn?t' get today, to bring the
week and year lists to 56 species.
