Sorry for the somewhat late post.  We decided to take advantage of the sun 
and ignore the wind to explore Prairie Oaks.  Not a lot of birds, probably 
due to the wind.  Birds seen:

Turkey Vulture - 3-4 individuals seen soaring at various locations
Belted Kingfisher - 1 by Big Darby Creek Greenway bridge
RB Woodpecker - 1 heard by Big Darby Creek Greenway bridge
Am. Robin - 1 very noisy near Greenway path, 2-3 spotted in various trees
Waterfowl @Darby Bend Lake:  40+ Canada Geese, 10 Am. Coots
Coneflower Trail:  2 broad-winged hawks dive-bombing each other, Blue Jay -
 1- (heard), Goldfinch - 3.

And one mystery bird observed in a tree next to creek off Coneflower 
trail:  dull brown back with streaked lighter breast, no other priminent 
markings, no eye-ring.  We consulted our Kaufmann guide thinking it might 
be a fall warbler but could not settle on anything. Or perhaps an immature 
Kinglet as it exhibited some flycatcher-like behaviors (but then we should 
have seen an eye ring?).  Suggestions welcome!

Good birding to all!  Sharon
