["Edmund Richards" <edkiernan3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Monday evening provided pretty good birding at Ash Pond. Number of different 
species was pretty good and there were pretty good numbers of a few species. 
The Yellowlegs were heard calling before I even lifted the binocs. The peeps 
were still falling in when I left around 8 pm. Large kettles of mixed 
vultures kept breaking out all over. Most of the kettles were beyond the 
plant and on the Herrington Lake side of the pond. A few vultures were on 
the flats providing very good looks at them. A large doe was seen on the 
back side of the pond w/ two fawns. The fawn's spots are ever fading just 
barely visible through the scope and the Whitetail's rusty summer coats are 
giving way to their brown/gray winter attire.

Heres the list of birds seen.....

5 Greater Yellowlegs
2 Spotted Sandpipers
20+ Least Sandpipers
10 Semipalmated Sandpipers
100+ Mourning Doves (those are what I counted at one time, they were coming 
and going all the time)
1 Semipalmated Plover
2 D.C. Cormorant
3 Great Egrets
2 Great Blue Heron
Black Ducks
Mallards
Canada Geese
Eastern Meadow Larks
American Robin
Northern Cardinal
Song Sparrow
Turkey Vulture
Black Vulture

Take care,
