Although I was unable to locate the Redhead (using binoculars), a visitor did spot it on Cash Lake with his scope this morning.
I checked our trails this morning for wind debris and found the woods fairly active (out of the wind). Robins were everywhere (lots of hollys with berries). Saw 3 Brown Creepers along Fire Rd Trail. Encountered an Eastern Phoebe at the water's edge in the area where Valley Trail and Cash Lake Trail intersect. Waterfowl on the lake included ~150 Ring-necked Ducks, several Am Black Ducks and Mallards and at least 3 Ruddy Ducks.
Be glad when the wind subsides!!
