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

Mallard
Northern Shoveler
Gadwall
Coopers Hawk
Red-shouldered Hawk

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:
