Buffleheads, Mallards, Ring-necked Duck (3), Turkey Vultures, Belted
Kingfisher (2), Red-bellied Woodpecker, Pileated Woodpecker, Eastern Phoebe,
Northern Rough-winged Swallow, Blue Jay, American Crow, Carolina Chickadee,
Carolina Wren, Winter Wren, European Starling, Northern Cardinal

plant)

Common Loon (3), Pied-billed Grebe (1), Red-necked Grebe (3), Double-crested
Cormorant (2), Canada Goose (1), Red-breasted Merganser (25), Ring-billed

There are down feathers on the Red-shouldered Hawk's nest. Is that from the
parent to line nest or evidence of young in the nest? What a beautiful day
tobe out birding!
