I'm not sure how the other teams in the field did=2C but Dorothy Poole and =
I came up with only 29 species.   We did find some good birds though.
=20
Red-throated Loon 1 At the waterfront pull off looking back towards the tre=
ssel Bridge.
=20
Northern Mockingbird - #38 King Street.  I believe this is still in the Liv=
erpool Limits.  This is on of the side streets if heading from Liverpool to=
wards Milton on the Liverpool side.  There is a huge multifloral area there=
.  The house with the bird has plants with lots of berries.  We're thinking=
 hawthorn bushes.  Last seen on a tree branch in the sun in back of the hou=
se.
=20
Rusty Blackbird - Adult non-breeding male.  This bird was observed closely =
at about 15 feet initially and then at about 8 feet.  It was on the trail w=
hich is off the tressle Bridge.  A streets goes off the drag from Liverpool=
 to Milton=2C just before the Tressle Bridge=2C but cuts between two parts =
of the trail.  The side where the bird was is the more vegetated one with n=
ice cover along the trail.  Before coming out on a another cross street is =
where the bird was.  If heading up the road that transects the two parts of=
 the trail=2C it is on the left side.  Walk to where you are about ready to=
 break out of the vegetation.  There is a small hill on a property=2C which=
 is private.  If you are tall enough you can see two feeders by a house=2C =
which is on the main stretch from Liverpool to Milton=2C behind the house a=
nd these feeders cannot be seen from the main drag.  It is near these feede=
rs where the bird was last observed.  This would be to your left if are fac=
ing the cross street just after breaking out of the vegetation section.
