I offer the following as my first submission to your fine list. As a new
"birder" I was very pleased to find this valuable resource.

Kingston Steam Plant – July 12, 2008
I spent the better part of the day roaming the ponds and wooded areas of
this fine birding area. While a July day is not for everyone
(temperatures in the 90’s) and there is a good deal of walking involved,
with very little shade to be found …… the areas around the Kingston
Steam Plant are a fun place for me!
I have posted some photos of the birds that I saw in this one day
(listed below)
I apologize for the quality of some of the images – Sometimes a
brilliantly sunny day is not a photographer’s best friend. Many other
birds were heard or seen, but I did not get a chance to photograph them
(i.e. Bob white quail, numerous LBB’s (little brown birds), barn and
tree swallows, etc.) There were butterflies and dragon flies o’plenty as
well.
