Tim Guida and I birded Jug Bay and Schoolhouse Pond today, highlights
were the Red-headed Woodpecker adults in the usual area around the
beaver pond, a couple of Cackling Geese and a bunch of Rustys at Jug
Bay, and a whole bunch of snipe foraging and loafing out in the open
on Schoolhouse Pond. Good waterfowl all around as well. Full lists
