The Prince George's Audubon Society's regularly-scheduled walk at Fran Uhler Natural Area (FUNA) in Bowie, which was not actually scheduled for this month because of hunting and CBC's, took place anyway, on Saturday 1/3. Six people showed up "just in case" and managed to find 32 species. We only missed a woodpecker 'hat trick' by one Red-headed, though not for lack of trying. Several people were very sure they had heard one, but we couldn't actually see one. The list, in order of appearance, is as follows: American Crow Ruby Crowned Kinglet Red-Tailed Hawk American Goldfinch Blue Jay Dark-Eyed Junco Mourning Dove White-Throated Sparrow Pileated Woodpecker American Robin Canada Goose Northern Flicker Common Grackle Hermit Thrush Red-Winged Blackbird Winter Wren Red-Bellied Woodpecker White-Breasted Nuthatch Eastern Tufted Titmouse Carolina Chickadee Carolina Wren Hooded Merganser (19 females, 1 male in one group with a Ring-necked Duck and Wood Duck female) Ring-Necked Duck Wood Duck Northern Mockingbird Song Sparrow Eastern Bluebird Golden-Crowned Kinglet Downy Woodpecker Brown Creeper Hairy Woodpecker Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker Good birding, everyone!
