Viewed from windows on marsh side-
Canada Geese, Mallards,   6 American Black Ducks, 7  Buffleheads, 
3 Red Breasted mergansers (3-M, 3 F),  1 male American  Widgeon, 
2 female Northern Harriers, 6 Gadwalls, 4 American tree  sparrows, 
2 Song sparrows,  white throated sparrows, 5 Cardinals (  3-M, 2 F),
mourning doves, 1 goldfinch.
 
Also in regards to the increased number of house finches in my  yard, I have 
noticed a corresponding decrease in House Sparrows.  I used to  have between 
30-40 house sparrows in the forsythia hedges and my awning all year  for many 
years.  This year I have counted a maximum of about 15 at one time  .
