Early in the morning at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, it was much too cold to feel like spring, but there was a good variety of birds, including: Palm Warblers, 2 Great Egrets, 1 Lesser Yellowlegs, 2 Osprey, 1 Bald Eagle, Rusty Blackbirds, Eastern Phoebes, Barn and Northern Rough-winged Swallows, Hermit Thrush, Gray Catbird, and many Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Also, for the atlas, a female Mallard with 9 ducklings.
