When I go for walks wearing my camera, neighbors often ask, "What did you see?" Here is a post of recent bird sightings.
I saw a Hermit Thrust on the shell road off of Wildewood Drive. I've seen this bird several times in this location.
American Widgeon Duck. Breeding males have a green eye patch and females are brown and grey with a black smudge around its eye. The big pond hosts many different ducks, gulls, and terns.
Not in Wildewood, but 10 minutes west in the bay off of Cortez Road, look — one female Red-Breasted Merganser. Pure delight! Did you know that these birds migrate from Alaska and Canada?

They are sometimes called the "sawbill." See why?
