Howdy all,

A few birds of note to mention here at Hard Bargain Farm and/or 
Piscataway Park.

While at the boardwalk yesterday looking over the Potomac I saw a male 
American Wigeon and a bunch (25+) Gadwall. It was nice to finally see 
some new faces, the Mallards were getting a little dull. We have at 
least 6 Red-Headed Woodpeckers hanging around the Farm and Park these 
days. They hang out/travel around from our barnyard, my yard along Bryan 
Point Rd, the shallow pond and field across from the Farm's lower 
entrance and along what we call the 'T' trail (the little branch of the 
boardwalk that goes into the woods down at the river). The final 
feathered friends of note are the White-Throated Sparrows I heard this 
evening near my house. I expect Juncos to turn up before the weekend is 
over.

Good birding,

PS: I forgot to mention the Cooper's Hawk my wife found mantling over a 
Mourning Dove in our back yard. I got to the window just in time to see 
it scoot off into the woods to enjoy the fresh snack.
