Canada Goose

Northern Shoveler
Green-winged Teal
Ring-necked Duck
Bufflehead
Turkey Vulture
Osprey
American Coot
Mourning Dove
Northern Flicker
Eastern Phoebe
American Crow
Carolina Chickadee
Tufted Titmouse
Red-breasted Nuthatch
Eastern Bluebird
American Robin
Northern Mockingbird
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Eastern Towhee
Field Sparrow
Song Sparrow
White-throated Sparrow
Dark-eyed Junco

There was a Great Egret at Brantwood Gold Course on the way to Courthouse Point.  Notable for their complete absence were gulls of any kind - they were not even visible over or on the Elk River, which can be seen from the west end of the large impoundment at CHP.
