Hi Peter,
The woods were a bit quieter today, with only 64 species; but a great group with several new attendees.
Highlights were Fish Crow, Ovenbird, White-winged Crossbills (still here!..maybe getting brighter?), 17 Pine Siskin, many Pine, some Palm warblers, several Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, 3 Winter Wren, at least 2 Green Herons, Blue-winged Teal, Osprey, Kestrel, and 4 species of swallows including Bank and Rough-winged.
Best regards,
Tom
