Mud Lake and Fletcher Wildlife Garden

February 24, 2019

We made several unsuccessful tries for the Red-belied Woodpecker at Hilda, then twice had the same fate at Pinecrest Creek for the Gadwall, so we decided to head for places we at least know we would find birds.

The ridge at Mud Lake provided no rarities, but there was an interesting procession of Mallards and Ameican Black Ducks coming up from the river.




We realized that we had not been at Fletcher for a long time, to decided to give it a try too.  We drew a blank in the woods, but had a few good sightings at the feeder behind the OFNC building.  The White-throated Sparrow was a nice find.  And it was heartening to see some redpolls, as they have been scarce.
