At our request a list was compiled from our
Guest the Birder during his 3 day stay. In the expanse of the fields around, the trees within eyeshot and earshot and those roosting nearby, plus side trips to the Dead End Duck Club and Mary's Chapel, there was an impressive variety of birds. This is his list, and web pictures I could find that match up with some of them.
