Some Birding Group members headed to the Little River Nature Sanctuary this morning for a loop walk which included ponds, a subdivision, the seashore, a river mouth, riverside and woodsy areas - lots of potential for good bird variety on this outing! Sadly, the bird presence was rather sparce, but we still managed to sight eighteen species: Northern Flicker, Hairy Woodpecker, Bald Eagle, Song Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco, Cedar Waxwings, American Crows, Common Ravens, Great Blue Heron, Horned Grebes, Red-necked Grebes, Greater Scaup, Common Loon, Belted Kingfisher, American Wigeons, Mallards, Green-winged Teals and a variety of gulls. All enjoyed being out in the crisp sunshine, in anticipation of rainy days ahead.
