For the last few weeks the Early Birders had been meeting at 7:30, but sunrise is now 6:42. This morning's walk reverted to 7 a.m, therefore.

Highlights:

Pale Male perched near entrance to Strawberry Fields - 6:55 a.m.
Eastern Towhee, male, at the Riviera,
Cooper's Hawk, young, near Cherry Hill
Carolina Wren, heard, near Upper Lobe.

We looked for woodcocks in the Oven but didn't find them. The paths were treacherously dotted with black ice, but everyone is still intact

PS An Indigo Bunting was seen at the feeders yesterday, around noon.
