Oak Openings last Saturday - Not an official birding day, but a family afternoon. The three of us went to OO in mid-afternoon on Saturday. It's nice that it doesn't get dark until 6:30 or so. Anyway, we first visited the Windows on the Wildlife building and watched the birds feeding for a while. The usuals were present along with an American Tree Sparrow. Then we walked the red trail through the woods and along the dunes. It took us over an hour, since we were all throwing a lot of snowballs at each other and at the trees. The weather was comfortable with calm winds, overcast skies, and temps in the mid 30's, which made for easy packing snow. It was a fun walk with a lot of laughs, and we only encountered other humans on the trail just once. We would pick out a tree and try to hit it with a snowball. We all had to hit it in order to move on. We stopped by the dunes so CP could rest on the bench for bit and really wore our arms out on some trees. There was around five inches of snow on the ground. Some of the low bushes were still covered. It looked nice, and I was kicking myself for not bringing a camera to record the winter wonderland and the snowball throwing. After the trail walk, we visited the Windows building again. Since it was late in the day, the Cardinals were actively feeding. As usual, the last birds at the feeders were Juncos and especially the Cardinals. We counted around 15 Cardinals. After OO, we stopped at Waterville to eat dinner at Koral Hamburg. A most enjoyable afternoon.
