Hi everyone.  This morning at 10am, bumped into Bob (rcflier) and his wife Lesley.  We went for a walk around Lake Aquitaine until 11am and sighted the following:

Grackles x 5
Gulls - lots, mainly Ring-billed
House Sparrows - lots
Mallards - lots
Mockingbird x 1

Also sighted a Cottontail Rabbit.

I then walked around Maplewood Park, 11am - 12 noon.  Sighted the following:

Cardinals x 2 (1m, 1f)

At noon, NW corner of Lake Aquitaine, sighted a male Belted Kingfisher perched on fence, whirring up a storm.
