53 species were seen and/or heard on a cold day. The most interesting were;
1 Northern Harrier, 1 Sharpshinned Hawk, 1 Cooper's Hawk, 1 Red-shouldered
Hawk, 1 Great Horned Owl, 1 Barred Owl, 2 House Wrens, 1 Marsh Wren, 10
Ruby-crowned Kinglets, 2 Golden-crowned Kinglets, 3 Hermit Thrushes, 1
Nashville Warbler, 1 pine Warbler, and 1 Palm Warbler. The Horned Owl was
sitting on last years Red-shouldered Hawk's nest. Hope this means nesting.
Our female Ruby-throated Hummingbird is occasionally seen around the
feeders.
