I forgot that I stopped at Lost Bridge: nice group of Redheads, Ring-necked Duck and N. Pintail were on the gravel pit lake along with a couple of Great-blue Heron and ubiquitous Coots and Canada Geese.

Examining the ice encrusted buds revealed a readiness to burst out with future warm temperatures. Ring-billed Gulls were winging about, Coots were on the water, and Tree Sparrows hid in the brush. The color palette was all shades of gray, relieved by the whiteness of the Gulls and the blackness of the Crows. Other birds seen at the Oxbow were Mallard, Red-tailed Hawk, Kestrel, Killdeer, Downy Woodpecker, Carolina Wren, Cardinals, Chickadees and Song Sparrows. One lone Great Blue Heron objected vocally to us being there.
