For this morning's bird walk, we had a flock of about a dozen rusty blackbirds near Sherwood Platform, first foraging low by one of the small ponds, then gathering in one of the trees. Also there were some yellow-rumped warblers and ruby-crowned kinglets, and many white-throated sparrows throughout. Closer to Owens Platform I heard a red-bellied-like call which I vaguely recall concluding last year as being from a winter wren, but didn't tracked it down. A cooper's hawk was seen a couple times patrolling the back pond, which has lots of wood ducks including brilliant males.
