I made a brief stop at Stewart Park late this morning. The only species I noted that I did not see in the weekend reports was was a pair of N PINTAIL off the east side of the park. As a side note: There was a report this AM on the Natural History List of a dead Cormorant on the east side of the park, so perhaps the one that has been seen this winter is now gone. I didn't find the bird, but I know now that it was apparently seen farther E of where I checked.
As for yard birds we've had a flock of up to 50 B H COWBIRDS around for the past several weeks as well as a pair of PURPLE FINCHES. The new bird for the day was a single RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD that showed up around 4:30 this afternoon.
