Team Diehard Birders (the Warfields, Jan Johnson, Irene Ries) braved the
cold, the overcast skies and the low temperatures to look for the swan. On
the way down, I saw a Red-shouldered Hawk flying on the Chesterfield airport
side of RT 10 as I was going to meet up with everyone.
While we didn't see our Mysterious Cygnus, we did see the following
beauties:
American Robin
Carolina, Winter Wren
Pileated, Red-bellied Woodie
Song, White-throated Sparrow
Bufflehead Duck (lovely antics and we discovered the irridescent spot on
their heads)
Gadwall
Mallard Duck
Wilson's Snipe
Killdeer
Dark-eyed Junco
Blue Jay
Northern Cardinal
Carolina Chickadee
Tufted Titmouse
White-breasted Nuthatch
Jan and I then took a cruise up RT 288, looking for turkeys. No turkeys
out on the grasslands by the margin of the woods, but we did see two
Redtailed Hawks cruizing overhead.
Cheers!
Irene on Southside
