 NOTE: Click to View Upcoming EventsA bit chillier than most of us expected this morning, but most in our group were rewarded with a life, state, or county bird. See the bird of the day to find out what it was. Good numbers of "oddball" (or silly if you prefer) geese around. All you have to do is be patient looking through the crowds of Canada and cackling geese to find them. Sombrero Marsh & Pond:
