Comments: First post-emigration outing to an established location. Thought I'd check this place out before Spring when it's at its peak, & was shown around by a friendly lady who noticed I was birding.
Weather: Bright, sunny, cool.
14 species

Red-tailed Hawk, 2 soaring overhead.
Herring Gull, 1 over.
Mourning Dove  X - on Auburn Pond feeders.

GREAT HORNED OWL, 2 in trees in the Dell to which I was taken by my newly-acquainted guide. One of the young birds was soon picked up in a tall oak. Its sibling was more difficult to find in another tree but I managed to find it after I was left alone to wander round the area. Life-tick.
