Spent about 6 hours there this morning.  From 900-almost 300. What else is 
there to do when school is out, but bird.  Weather was absolutely wonderful.  
Got some great looks at some good birds.  Some of the highlights included:
   
  Northern Harrier
   
  Sora, great looks, i sat for about 1.5hrs and watched them come to me
   
  Possible Cliff swallow, had a square-tailed swallow flying over for about 30 
mins; had a light rump patch and was light underneath, cant say for sure what 
it was though; hopefully it will be back
   
  Pileated Woodpecker
  Marsh Wren
  Sedge Wren
  Winter Wren
  Carolina Wren
  Rusty Blackbird; good size flock of about 30
  Coopers Hawk
  Red-tailed Hawk
  Red-shouldered Hawk
  American Kestrel
  Golden-crowned Kinglet
   
  Overall, had 37 species, not bad, but there were a few missing that should 
have been there.  Oh well, theres always wednesday!
