Christmas Eve birds



    This morning, in preparation for the Cumberland County CBC on Sunday, I
walked the area that I will be covering.  On one of the ponds I found a
flock of hooded mergansers.  When I attempted to get closer to take a
better look, they flushed.  Ducks in the adjacent pond flushed before I
could even get a look.  On the Methodist College golf course, I saw the
resident red-tailed hawk and most of the usual critters.
    While working around the house, I spotted a female or first winter
Baltimore oriole visiting my feeders.  I've also had goldfinches and a pine
warbler visiting periodically today.
