I drove through Shirley Plantation yesterday. Highlights were a large flock
of PIPITS, two HORNED LARKS, two WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS and YELLOWLEGS sp.
Two OSPREY were perched near the Benjamin Harrison Bridge, apparently ready
to start nest building efforts. I also saw 4 BALD EAGLES, several SAVANNAH
SPARROWS, a RED-TAILED HAWK, and a PINE WARBLER. Other suspects were the
usual, with MOCKINGBIRDS perched everywhere in conspicuous places singing.
Waterfowl included SHOVELERS, RING-NECKS, BUFFLEHEAD, RUDDIES.
Pictures of the osprey, white-crowned sparrow, horned lark are here:
