PP sightings 3/13/09 ; 2 reports

From Scott Whittle


Walked from the duck feeding area on the lake to the feeders, then around the Lullwater and back in a loop. Highlights includes FOS Eastern Phoebe (for me) and Yellow Rumped Warbler, both on the Lullwater. 1 Common Merganser was on the lake, and 1 Red Breasted Merganser continues in the Lullwater. No Juncos, fewer Coots. Things are changing (they always are...) and spring is coming!
