The temperature had risen above freezing so birding was more comfortable than previous days. There was a slight draw back, however, owing to the thick fog which I encountered making visual observation of the birds more difficult. I was able to see some birds though and it was an enjoyable outing. The region I birded was around the oxbow lakes just south of St. Joseph.Here is a list of the birds seen, more of less in the order which I observed them.European Starling, Downy Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Eastern Bluebird, American Goldfinch, American Robin, House Finch, Northern Cardinal, Harris's Sparrow, Marsh Wren, White-throated Sparrow, Song Sparrow, American Tree Sparrow, Mourning Dove, Dark-eyed Junco, Blue Jay, Red-tailed Hawk, House Sparrow, Swamp Sparrow, Fox Sparrow, Black-capped Chickadee, Eurasian Collared-Dove, Eastern Meadowlark, Horned Lark, American Crow & Canada Goose (which was heard only).</blockquote>
