On our first bird census of the new year we had a good day tallying 69 species 
+3 other taxa.  Large numbers of Northern Pintails continue to impress. The 
road to Meadow Pond was good to us today with a group of 40 Wild Turkeys eating 
in a field and at another stop where we were treated to White-breasted 
Nuthatches, Brown Creepers and a Golden-crowned Kinglet. We had excellent views 
of a male Eastern Towhee on the road to Goode. Near the low water crossing 
north of headquarters we saw a Common Yellowthroat and a Swamp Sparrow.  There 
was a group of 11 Canvasbacks and 2 Lesser Scaups in the pond near the cemetery.
