Beautiful day today, perfect for an extended wander around the Watershed. This is a long time favorite spot, with a main loop and several spurs and side loops, etc. For todays wander, I covered most of the side spots, and ended up totally 3.22 miles. Pretty much a perfect day, I need to savor these before it gets hot and humid and oppressively green...
The birds were out in force, here's a list of what Merlin identified:
American Crow / American Goldfinch / American Robin / Black-capped Chickadee / Blue Jay / Bluebird (seen, not heard) / Brown-headed Cowbird / Canada Goose / Carolina Chickadee / Carolina Wren / Cedar Waxwing / Common Grackle / Eastern Meadowlark / Fish Crow / House Finch / Killdeer / Northern Cardinal / Northern Flicker / Northern Mockingbird / Pileated Woodpecker / Pine Siskin / Red-bellied Woodpecker / Red-shouldered Hawk / Red-winged Blackbird / Song Sparrow / Swamp Sparrow / Tree Swallow / Tufted Titmouse / White-breasted Nuthatch / White-throated Sparrow / Yellow-Rumped Warbler
That's 31 different species identified in less than 90 minutes. I saw or heard most of them.
And here's a few quick phone photos:
