I birded at Davidsonville Park yesterday and Gov Bridge today.  The
impoundments are filled at Davidsonville and there were many Canada Geese
including a good Cackling candidate.  Also present was a lone shoveler.  The
river was flooded and so I couldn't check the back ponds but I suspect more
geese and possible waterfowl.  I will check again later this week when the
river drops.  Behind the ball fields there were loads of sparrows including
a Lincoln's and a couple juvy/female white crowned. At Gov Bridge, I flushed
a woodcock and found my first winter wren.  Kinglets and Myrtles were
abundant at both locations.  Full lists:
