At 4 PM today 3 Redheads (2 males, 1 female) were on the pond immediately west of the main entrance on Grumman Blvd. The pond is largely frozen except for a small patch of open water immediately behind the community center. The open water is easily viewed from the community center parking lot. In addition to the redheads there were 130 or so Canada Geese, 5 Mallards and 4 American Widgeon and a Harrier was working the margins of the pond. In the fading light, I birded the fence line east of the community center toward the main entrance and thus missed the Lark Sparrow. At dusk I stopped at the overlook of the southwest runways and had 5 Eastern Bluebirds perched on the fence.
