This morning was a little windy and cold for birding....but I found enough
sheltered areas to make a few observations. I did not find my target birds:
red-breasted nuthatches, winter wren, or hermit thrush, but did find a large
flock of purple finches feeding in the picnic area with a mixed flock of
bluebirds, juncos, and titmouse. I heard an eagle call right above me, and saw
two immature's flying over me heading back to the lake. The large cowbird
flock was just south-west of the park in a barn-lot, feeding with the pigeons.
Keep on birding!
