Great morning, it sounds like you had enough birders so as not to miss me :)
Am getting my foot x-rayed tomorrow but don't think anything is broken. But
can't get any shoes on but sandals - a little scant on nippy mornings.

Today's Huntley Meadows Monday Morning Birdwalk was a great success in terms
of birders (morethan 30), and bird species (52). Ducknumbers are growing with
Green-winged Teal, Northern Pintails, Gadwalls, andShovelers dominating the
wetlands. Allseven of the woodpecker species found at Huntley presented
themselves, and theMerlin we first spotted last week was still around. Great
