Tweets - Our first survey of the year was typical of this winter's
surveys. The weather was better than expected (only a few short mizzle
showers), and the birding was a little disappointing.

Highlights:
Greater White-fronted Goose - Six in Lot K, with Canadas
Cackling Goose - Flock of ~2000 landed and stayed on the grass soccer
fields
Anna's Hummingbird - Singing and displaying
Bewick's Wren - Several singing

Overall, singing and quasi-singing is picking up.

Misses today included Green-winged Teal, Hooded Merganser (never missed
before in the 1st week of January), American Coot, Killdeer, Ring-billed
Gull, Cooper's Hawk, and Bushtit.

Despite that long list of misses, we still managed 46 First of Year (FOY)
birds.
