To all interested birders,
This morning I birded DRSVP from 9-10:45 during which time I spooked
a Green Heron out of a small feeder stream 15 feet up into a tree 20
feet away from me. The heron stayed there for about 3 minutes giving
me plenty of time to observe it and take some low quality pictures.
Also of note was a flock of Cedar Waxwings which I hadn't seen in the
park for quite a while and a few juncos (first flock of season). I
have attached the complete list below for anyone who is interested.
Get out there and have a good time,
Nicholas Newberry
