Walking back towards the park, a female Eastern Towhee popped up out of the brush, too.
It quickly dropped back into the brush, probably because there was a Sharp-shinned Hawk circling overhead.
A Great Blue Heron stood at the edge of the pond.
The area of spruces along the edge of the pond produced 2 Brown Creepers and 3 Golden-crowned Kinglets.
Other species found there included 2 Killdeer, an American Kestrel, 4 Eastern Bluebirds, and 3 American Goldfinches, plus 3 Field Sparrows and a Dark-eyed Junco among 41 White-throated Sparrows and 19 Song Sparrows.
I left there and headed over to the Regency Boulevard retention ponds with a stop at the Silver Crest Road pond along the way. Silver Crest held 3 Ruddy Ducks, a Green-winged Teal, and a Great Blue Heron among 19 Mallards and around 400 Canada Geese.
Down the road at the Regency Boulevard retention ponds, I found 16 Green-winged Teal, a Ruddy Duck, and a Lesser Scaup.
Along the woods edge, I saw 2 Eastern Phoebes, an American Goldfinch, and 2 Yellow-rumped Warblers.
My last stop was at Green Pond where I saw an American Black Duck in the retention pond along Farmersville Road. A Savannah Sparrow was seen in the dry, flooded field area. The recently-made stone path along the edge of the golf course held a Ruby-crowned Kinglet and a group of 12 Chipping Sparrows.
