Hi all,

Harold Forsyth and I were also at Miner's Marsh on Saturday morning,  
we saw briefly and heard clearly for five minutes the marsh wren. We  
sighted many mallards, seven green winged teal, two female shovelers,  
a few black ducks, two blallards, one coot. The kingfisher was very  
active, as was an adult red tailed hawk. One pine grosbeak was very  
vocal as it flew in and landed in a tree above us. The small birds  
were flitting among the trees and shrubbery along the north slope  
behind the marsh. There was one grackle, some downey woodpeckers, one  
brown creeper, pine siskins, goldfinches, red breasted nuthatch, song  
and white throated sparrows, and lots of juncos.

We met and spoke with James, but the lists look like we were either in  
different areas or on different days!  Amazing that this small area  
can hide so many birds.


George Forsyth
