With one last taste of winter this morning with a few flakes of snow falling
and the gusty winds, birds at Carver Park were around but in clumps in more
protected areas or feeding along roadsides(sparrows). I also saw a Mink
dragging a roadkill Opossum off a road at the park. Morning count:
Sandhill Crane 2
Brown Creeper 1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 26
Hermit Thrush 2
Nashville Warbler 1
Yellow-rumped Warbler 88 (~60 of these were in flock together feeding on the
ground)
Palm Warbler 8
Black and White Warbler 3
Clay-colored Sparrow 4 (roadsides)
Savannah Sparrow 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
White-throated Sparrow ~30
White-crowned Sparrow 2
Dark-eyed Junco 5
Eastern Meadowlark 1
In rural areas of the county there were Trumpeter Swan, Gadwall, Northern
Shoveler, Green-winged Teal, Redhead, Ring-necked Duck, Lesser Scaup, Ruddy
Duck, Greater Yellowlegs, Wilson's Phalarope, and Brewer's Blackbird.
