We found 28 species this morning in a 4 hour trip through Walden Ponds and adjoining areas. The highlight was a pair of Great Horned Owls in the western end of the site near the creek. We walked down the recently reopened Boulder Creek Trail, then back along the shoulder of 75th (good raptors and the far off eagle nests, with an adult Bald Eagle perched near one of the nests). The only open water other than Boulder Creek was at the first pond along the entrance road, where the bubbler is keeping an area of the pond open, which featured a group of Ring-necked Ducks and single Hooded Mergansers and Common Goldeneyes. Here's the complete list:
-- Canada Goose
Cackling Goose
