A chilly, windy, and cloudy day at lovely Ladew Gardens. A good amount of activity from expected birds this time of year. Highlights were a HOUSE WREN and PALM WARBLER. A SHARPIE grabbed up a bird 30 feet from me. The poor thing was on one side of a log, and the Sharpie blind-sided it from the other side. Good tactic. Some other birds: swamp sp, wt sparrow, song sp, yellow rump, phoebe, flicker, red-bellied, downy, wb nut, both kinglets, bluebird.
Ladew closes after this Friday and will re-open late March.
