Hi - the Jersey boreal chickadee still at visitor center feeder today, coming in about every thirty minutes for a peanut. Pine Siskin and red breasted nuthatch also at feeder.
At nearby hawk watch platform at the reservoir’s dam, there was one hen Barrow’s goldeneye, many common goldeneye, good number of northern pintails and over 1000 snow geese in flight then settling down. Worth the long drive despite threatening winter storm.
