The Medford Leas avian census takers met at the Nature Center on a dreary day for the counters as well as the objects of their pursuit. The woodland trails were eerily silent with only a scattering of birds seen or heard. Most of the \u201caction\u201d was found at or around the environs of the feeders. No species was present in large numbers and nothing unusual crossed our path. Carolina Wrens were heard and seen throughout the campus as well as Juncos, Carolina Chickadees, White-throated Sparrows, Houses Finches and Gold Finches. Woodpeckers were almost a \u201cno show\u201d as we encountered very few Red-bellies, Northern Flickers and surprisingly only one Downy. Raptors were also low in number with a few Turkey and Black Vultures and one Red-tailed Hawk.<\/p>

Weather: Overcast and damp. Temperature 42-46\u00baF.<\/p>

Participants:<\/strong> Dino Fiabane, Marie Gleason, Robert Koch, Kay Smith, Miriam Swartz and Louise Tompkins.<\/p>

Feeder Data: Carol Neil and Ro Wilson.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
