This morning at Pickering Creek  two male Wood Ducks were seen
twice as they flew up from beside the water in the "old" pond in the woods
north of the barns and sheds.  Large numbers of ducks were using the wetland
ponds - several hundred Mallards, numbers of Blacks approaching 100, and a
small sprinkling of Pintails and Gadwalls.

          `White-crowned Sparrows continue along the path from the barns to
the first platform that overlooks the ponds.  Sharp-shinned Hawk and
Northern Harrier continue to enjoy the sparrow buffet of that pathway and
adjacent field.  Song Sparrows and White-throats were also present in good
numbers.
