A late morning walk around the Park was much better than the past Sunday when everything looked frozen.
No signs of the Redpoll, but the area around LP49 was rewarding with at least 2 American Tree Sparrows (See picture below), and a lonely Field Sparrow.
Other nice surprise was a small flock of Cedar Waxwings seen around the Vale.
Feeders quite active, but no signs of the European Goldfinch.
Among the Canada Geese, one had a neck band, yellow in color with the code in black: NA08. I already reported to the BBL (See pictures below).
