titmice and song sparrows) included:
1 Winter Wren

1 Brown-headed Cowbird (female)
2 European Starlings
7 Ruddy Ducks
3 Bufflehead
1 Louisiana Waterthrush (heard only)
1 Red-bellied Woodpecker (female)
1 Downy Woodpecker (female)

2 American Crows
a few Blue-gray Gnatcatchers
several Eastern Towhees (males and females)
several Cedar Waxwings (heard only)
several Ruby-crowned Kinglets
several Tree Swallows
several White-throated Sparrows
several Canada Goose pairs
Also had two Double-crested Cormorants on Little Seneca Lake from the
Rt. 121 bridge, and a Pied-billed Grebe in the cove near the boat
ramp/boat parking lot.
