Nine of us walked up Mill Creek from the Project Office to Rooks Park, to see what birds might be out on this cold, foggy morning. We weren't disappointed. There were hooded mergansers and common mergansers on the creek along with canada geese, mallards and American wigeons. A great blue heron gave us regal poses from his perch on a rock in the middle of the creek, and we even saw a mink catch a fish!
We saw three brown creepers, a varied thrush, ruby-crowned kinglets, a spotted towhee, a belted kingfisher, black-capped chickadees and the usual song sparrows, juncos, white-crowned sparrows and Bewick's wrens. We saw 25 species on our walk, and added a few more species in route. Ginger
