Today we had a little break in the freezing temperatures but we had to contend 
with heavy fog.  We wound up with a nice total of 69 species +2 other taxa 
without any views of the lake.  It was an exciting day with Wood Ducks, Hooded 
Mergansers a Merlin and a Pileated Woodpecker at Deaver Pond.  On farther down 
the road we saw a flock of 33 Wild Turkeys a group of wild hogs and a Greater 
Roadrunner. Upon exiting Meadow Pond Road we decided to go look for the 
Red-headed Woodpecker by the fishing hole On Big Mineral Creek and were 
successful. We turned around heading back to complete the day and found a Bald 
Eagle sitting in the big Cottonwood by the Big Mineral picnic area.
