Buttertubs Marsh in the rain

Had a quick walk around the marsh after my woodcarving session and was surprised to see the Barred Owl again. I was  attracted to it's presence by the scolding calls of Chestnut-backed Chickadees.
My list for today:
 

Mallard
Hooded Merganser
Ring-necked Duck
Great Blue Heron
Double-crested Cormorant
Steller's Jay
American Robin
Cedar Waxwing
Red-winged Blackbird
Bewick's Wren
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Song Sparrow
Fox Sparrow
Spotted Towhee
Golden-crowned Sparrow
White-crowned Sparrow                      
Dark-eyed Junco
House Sparrow
