I hit several spots along Darby Creek looking for winter strays this
morning, starting at Indian Ridge and working north to Cedar Ridge, the
Teal Trail, and Kuhlwein Rd.  The upland fields were largely devoid of
birds, including the prairies at Indian Ridge and the Teal Trail, though I
did have Harriers at both prairies.  The creekside forest and ravines were
much more birdy, with lots of woodpeckers and flock birds.  Notables
included Pileated Woodpeckers at several spots, a Bluebird flock along the
Terrace Trail, scattered E.Towhees, and small numbers of Tree Sparrows
around the feeders at both Indian Ridge and Cedar Ridge, along with the
expected flock birds and juncos.
