I decided to join him today and was delighted with a nesting pair of Red-headed Woodpeckers and Baltimore Orioles in one area, the usual summer field birds (Chipping and Grasshopper Sparrows, Bluebirds, Meadowlarks, etc.) and a Hooded Merganser in one of the ponds. Nice birds and my best round of golf to boot! -- Marcia E.
