On my way home from work today I stopped at
Lochness park for about a half hour or so and saw quite a few birds. The Red-winged Blackbirds were plentiful including one female. I also saw a Common Loon, Tree Swallows, Yellow-rumped Warbler (First of the year), Goldfinch, Cardinals, and an Eastern Bluebird. For a half hour not to shabby!
