Howdy All! Made a turn around the park this morning to see what was about. It was a little slow, but I was able to get one of our visitors a lifer. Of course it was the White-winged Scoter. We were also able to get a few close-up looks at a Pileated Woodpecker. I hope that his photos turn out nice. A little later, I was able to get my FOS White-eyed Vireo on the C Loop trail. Remember, bird tour at 8:15am starting from the front office in the morning (March 22). Come on out and join us. Good birding!
