I walked the towpath from Violette's Lock to a quarter mile beyond mile marker 23 and back 11:15- 12:15.
There were snow flurries the entire time. Beautiful! My preferred weather.
On the river:
10 Lesser Scaup
2 Pied-billed Grebe
8 No. Shoveler
5 Bufflehead
1 Great Blue Heron
Hughes Hollow 1:00- 2:30 Flurries and a few snow squalls. : ). When I first arrived a Great Blue
flew in from the northwest. Gorgeous gliding through the snow.
While I was walking:
Carolina Wren
Winter Wren
Titmouse
Swamp Sparrow
Brown Creeper
Carolina Chickadee
No. Cardinal
Yellow-rumped Warbler ( walking on the ice)
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker ( heard )
Downy Woodpecker
( one very frozen Mallard decoy that fooled me for a moment!)
Hughes Road ( Polo field)
Eastern Bluebird (6 males only)
Good birding,
