Okay, maybe I'll include some text in this message....

This a.m., from about 7:30 to 9 a.m., I birded the area around the 
impoundments at Hughes Hollow. Highlights were a flyover Wilson's 
snipe, all seven woodpecker species, including one to three (the 
latter two heard) red-headed woodpeckers, up to 10 indigo buntings, a 
Lincoln's sparrow loosely associated with some buntings and 
goldfinches, an ovenbird, and a Swainson's thrush. Most of these were 
seen from the trail that goes around the first impoundment on the 
right. Also, five great egrets, one green heron, several dozen wood 
ducks. Up to three dozen white-throated sparrows, six swamp sparrows, 
five calling ruby-crowned kinglets, 4 titmice, one house wren... but, 
alas, no partridge in a pear tree.
