Snow geese, Wood Duck, Wigeon, Black Duck, Shoveler, Pintail, Green-wing Teal, Blue-wing Teal, Ring-Necked, Bufflehead, Hooded Merg, Com Merg, Ruddy,Pied-billed Grebe, Glossy Ibis, Bald Eagle, Red Shoulder Hawk, Peregrine Falcon, Coot, Snipe, Woodcock, Great Horned Owl, Tree swallows.
42 species and excellent late day light on the ducks high-lighting their vibrant colors. At dusk Woodcock began calling and displaying.
Choruses of Spring Peepers during the entire walk around the loop made for a very enjoyable birding adventure.
On the home front, Fox Sparrow and the Flicker continue to feed here.
