3 lifers at CHM

Great walk!

Lifers:

- Chestnut Sided Warbler (had heard them before thanks to the BirdNET app, but hadn't seen; today, saw one with a nice yellow hat) -- was hopping from branch to branch on the trees in the old apple orchard

- Common Yellowthroat (not common looking at all!  such a neat looking bird) -- was hopping about the tall grass after we descended from the lookout, wasn't very bothered by us, I had lots of good looks.

- Wood Thrush -- really different type of sound.

2 lifers! Ring-necked Duck and Ross's Goose (one at Morris Island, one in a field on the drive back)

Most of the water at Morris Island CA was still frozen and snow-covered, but there were some parts that were open.  That's where I saw a ring-necked duck, hanging out with some hooded and common mergansers and Canada geese.  Very cool! Then, on the drive back, I saw some people pulled over at the side of the road, next to a flooded farm field full of Canada geese.  As a slowly drove past, I saw they had some serious bird-watching equipment set up, so of course I had to stop and see what the excitement was about, as surely it wasn't just the Canada geese.  They pointed out the Ross's goose, the lone white bird among the Canada geese.  Cool!
