Howdy All!
These cool, foggy mornings have the birds moving. Huge flocks of robins are 
moving through the forest looking for beautyberry and sweetgum to feast on. So 
many of them, you can hear them across the park. We've started getting a few 
ducks on the lake. The Beaver Pond is busy with Swamp Sparrow, Lincoln's and 
Song Sparrow. It is also a good area to pick up several woodpecker species and 
Purple Finch. We've had an Osprey hanging around the past couple of days.  It 
must have read the news about us releasing 2,000 trout. We finally got in our 
first Red-breasted Nuthatch of the year.

Here's the list:
