This was the highlight this morning.  The bird was first heard and  then seen 
in the pines along the Dutch Gap Trail about 0.3 miles from the  Visitor 
Center.
 
The recent warm weather seems to have moved out all the wintering  ducks.  
The RED-SHOULDERED HAWK  was sitting on the nest near the  parking lot, and an 
OSPREY was seen carrying breakfast.
