Tweets ? it was overcast, with quite a bit of wind early on, though the wind faded during the day. No precip, but no great warming either. It was a quiet day for birds.
Highlights:
Wood Duck At least 2 (male and female, not together)
Greater Scaup Female at weir, 5 more flying at lake
Lesser Scaup Female above weir ? First of Year
Great Blue Heron Several herons at nests
HERRING GULL At least 1 on grass soccer fields
Barn Owl Matt heard one ~6:00 a.m.
Hairy Woodpecker Pair seen twice (or 4)
Y-rumped Warbler Both Audubon?s and Myrtle?s at Rowing Club (FOY)
We missed several common species such as Green-winged Teal (thought we heard at Rowing Club, but not confirmed), Hooded Merganser, Wilson?s Snipe, Bushtit, and Red-breasted Nuthatch, but still managed 49 species for the day.
Adding Lesser Scaup and Yellow-rumped Warbler, our year list is at 77 species.
