Hi, All

We made the short pilgrimage to see the Rufous Hummingbird and after about 
a 15 minute wait (which felt like 30 in the cold temps! - 10:30 am), she came 
zooming in to feed.  What a treat to see a hummingbird this time of year.

At Lilypons, we saw the following:

American black ducks
Mallards
Lots of white-throated sparrows
Lots of song sparrows
2-3 swamp sparrows
1 field sparrow
2 winter wrens
1 Carolina wren
2 belted kingfishers
1 red-bellied woodpecker
1 northern flicker
2 American goldfinches
2 great blue herons
1 red-tailed hawk
1 adult bald eagle
