Today was my last day at the marsh until the spring.  Headed back to school on 
Saturday.  I birded from about 845-1230.  I was accompanied by David Patterson 
and Dusty Wright for most of the day.  Beautiful day out to accompany the good 
birding.  Species list was as follows:
   
  Great Blue Heron
  Mallard
  Northern Shoveler
  Gadwall
  Coopers Hawk
  Red-shouldered Hawk
  American Kestrel
  Sora
  American Coot
  Killdeer
  Common Snipe
  Mourning Dove
  Red-bellied Woodpecker
  Downy Woodpecker
  Northern Flicker
  Pileated Woodpecker
  Eastern Phoebe
  Blue Jay
  American Crow

  Red-winged Blackbird
  Rusty Blackbird
  House Finch

  Also, while cleaning the gutters of the house today, I was overtop a few of 
the feeders and had a little excitement with what flew in to the feeders.  I 
had a Pine Warbler and  Blue-headed Vireo both feed on the suet of the feeder.  
This in turn caused me to bird for about 40 mins in the yard.  The species list 
was as follows:
   
  Red-shouldered Hawk
  Turkey Vulture
  Red-bellied Woodpecker
  Downy Woodpecker
  Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

  Blue-headed Vireo
  Pine Warbler
  Northern Cardinal
