Thirty-three participants gathered on a cloudy damp morning. With the threat of rain from
overnight mostly gone, the day was mild and the sun seemed to want to break through as the
morning progressed. This late fall walk took us to different parts of the Park than earlier in the
season, starting at the Pinetum, where our two groups eventually found the continuing Redheaded
Woodpecker after a thorough search by all 66 eyes. It was also interesting to observe
first-of-the-winter arrivals of American Coot, Northern Shoveler, Hooded Merganser, and Ruddy
Duck on the reservoir, with a Green-winged Teal on the Pond as a bonus.
