22 February 2003
Wal-Mart Distribution Center
Greene County

Carol and I spent the early morning fighting rain but were treated to some 
spectacular views of Gadwalls (3), Hooded Mergansers (3), Northern Shovelers 
(2), Great Blue Heron (1), and Mallards (8) feeding in the stormwater 
detention ponds south of the main building. Red-tailed Hawks (2) were also 
seen feeding on a snake and frog. Numerous Canada Geese were seen in the 
stormwater detention pond located north of the center. 

A brief stop at the then flooded area of Lick Creek yielded the typical 
winter palette of Blue Jays, Northern Cardinals, Downy Woodpecker, Carolina 
Chickadees, and Tufted Titmice with the addition of an Eastern Meadowlark.

Spring must be near with Winter Jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum) blooming nearby.
