On Sunday December 17th Brooks, Carrie, Tom, Kathryn, Jeff and I made
an early start to get to Peck's lake for 8am where someone showed to
unlock the gate for us. Peck's Lake was a popular birding spot in the
1980s but has been locked away for some time now, and some of the old
picnic spots are now covered with vegetation.
We had a
good day with Wood Ducks and Hooded Mergansers among 7 duck species, and
White-throated, Rufous-crowned and Black-throated Sparrows among the
hundreds of White-Crowned Sparrrows. We ended the day following a
Greater Roadrunner down the dirt track for a mile or so.
