On my drive into work this morning I had 50+ Bohemian Waxwings along Hwy 13 on the south side of Washburn. Then had 20 CANADA GEESE (first of winter), 77+ Common Goldeneyes, 20 Mallards, and 9 Amer. Black Ducks in the small area of open water at Long Bridge near Ashland. Also a Bald Eagle carrying nesting material there. Lastly, again saw the COMMON GRACKLE that is overwintering on Ashland's west end -- today the bird was off Sanborn Ave (Hwy112) near Third Street West. Pine Grosbeaks continue in small to moderate numbers in scattered locations. C. Redpolls are generally scarce but I had a flock of 100+ along Beaser Avenue in Ashland a couple weeks ago. Since then, local birder Mike Dewitt has had 50+ coming to his feeders just south of Ashland. Among them earlier this week was a female HOARY REDPOLL that he documented with photographs.
