From Rafael Campos:
With a nice day ahead, I left the house around
7 am to make a quick run around PP. I saw one
Red-tailed Hawk carrying a stick towards its nest
in the neighborhood of Nelly's lawn.The Midwoods
were empty, and the Wood Duck male is still hanging
around with Mallards & Canada Geese near the Boat House.
To my surprise, around 8 am, no birds at the feeders
of Breezy Hill, except for 1 Dark-eyed Junco.
The lake had more open water than my last visit 2 weeks ago.
There a large flock of RBGUs , the most common sight.
But a nice pair of Hooded Merganser were seen briefly
near 3 Sisters Island. Going back home, a quick stop at
the Upper Pool gave nice views of 1 drake Ring-necked Duck
+ 1 pair of Buffleheads.Near the grounds of the Zoo, a large
flock of Common Grackle was seen foraging.
