Seven of us braved the chilly gray weather at Duck Hollow this morning.

We saw 23 species including two female common mergansers on the river as we were leaving.

Best Birds were three belted kingfishers — one female plus two (presumably) males who chased each other every time they got near her.

Mike Cornell kept a checklist and so did I, though we didn’t count the mallards and ring-billed gulls.

Here’s my checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S35284767
