Upper Reesor Pond
Can Geese / Mallards / Gadwalls / Yellowlegs / American Coot / Ring bill gulls / Redtailed hawks flying over

Lower Reesor Pond
Can Geese / Pied Billed Grebe / many, many white throated sparrows

Zoo (of all places)
Dark eyed Junco
Red tailed hawk (best viewing I have ever had, flew off a couple of times, but stayed behind shop nearest entrance so kept finding it again)

(Not as good as JTF's pictures but it gives me something to aim for (pun intended)).

Great looking images. Not often you can get a pic of a RTH on the ground, good work.

To add to this report we saw:

A family of five Cackling Geese (thanks to Stan Long for pointing them out) at uppper Reesor.

At the lower Reesor pond we saw a pair of Fox Sparrows and a Swamp Sparrow along with the Grebe and the geese. There was also a pair of Ravens (croaking rather than cawing) flying overhead.

Cheers,

Bernie

Thanks for your kind comments BB and JTF. Your work is one of my targets JTF. Soon, soon (hideous cackle - seasonally referenced).

Bernie - cackling geese - new to me, so I checked on the web, for those interested

Something for me to look out for. Thanks for the update.
