For the first time in quite a while, I joined the Friday Birders led by David Ludlow, and I think I will try to chronicle what we see, assuming I can do a significant amount of trips this year.  We saw the usual suspects, including Canada Goose, Brant, Mute Swan, Wood Duck, Gadwall, Black Duck, Mallard, Ring-necked Duck, Common Eider, Surf Scoter, White-winged Scoter, Long-tailed Duck, Bufflehead, Common Goldeneye, Hooded Merganser, Red-breasted Merganser, Common Loon, Horned Grebe, Great Cormorant, Turkey Vulture, Killdeer, Herring Gull, Great Black-backed Gull, Rock Pigeon, Mourning Dove, Downy Woodpecker, Blue Jay, Crow, Black-capped Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse, Red-breasted Nuthatch, White-breasted Nuthatch, Carolina Wren, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Robin, Starling, Brown-headed Cowbird, Tree Sparrow, Song Sparrow, White-throated Sparrow, Junco, Cardinal, Red-winged Blackbird, Grackle, House Finch, Goldfinch, and as we came back to base, had a Bluebird. 47 species, not too bad for a really cold walk. Good selection of ducks. Few photo ops.
