Seneca Creek State Park between Rt. 118 and Riffleford Rd. - Overall
number of birds low but some nice Winter birds including RED-BREASTED
NUTHATCH (first non-feeder sighting for me in Mo. Cty), Hermit Thrush,
Winter Wren, Brown Creeper, and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.
Also stopped at Rt. 121 bridge for a quick scan of Little Seneca
Lake. Nothing that hasn't been reported over the past month or so. Did
see one of the EARED GREBES. Other birds included:
Pied-billed Grebe
Canada Goose
