I visited Meadowbrook Park again this morning hoping to catch a hawk flight after the cold front, but again the score was zero. I was joined for most of the morning by Jo Solem. Birds seen included:
Canada Goose 115 in five flocks
Great Egret 2
Sharp-shinned Hawk 1 actively hunting
Cooper's Hawk 1, probably a local bird
Red-shouldered Hawk 1 definitely local bird
Ring-billed Gull 2
Chimney Swift 6, most seen at one time, actively feeding, not migrating
Phoebe 2
Blue Jay 19
Catbird 2
Magnolia Warbler 1
Palm Warbler 3, one Yellow and two Western
Yellowthroat 1 heard
House Finch 1 leucistic male, odd white patches on head and wings
