In our house beside Leeds Creek, the Canada Geese were calling all
night.  They really turned it on when the neighbors fired off their shotguns
at 12:00 Midnight, so I had calling Canada Geese at Midnight as well as at
12:00:01,02,03, and onward.
    Later in the morning a couple of nice finds here at home were: Brown
Thrasher (at 0740), Fox Sparrow (at 0803), Cedar Waxwing (at 0815) and a
total of 33 species by 0830.
 
    I then went over to Pickering Creek to check their ponds for dabblers,
and between 0930 and 1000 observed:  Black Duck (30), Red Head (1),
Canvasback (1), Ruddy (1), Northern Shoveler (30), Green-winged Teal (40),
Northern Harrier (1) and a total of 37 species over there.
 
    Here's to a great birding year in 2008!
