Confined to an office for the past week, I've had to peek out the window over 
the harbor to see what's going by.   Yesterday, it was a torrent of Tree 
Swallows, raptors of all stripes, and cormorants.   Today I arrived to hear, 
then 
see, a Vesper Sparrow and 3 redstarts in the very paltry trees on the sides of 
the terrace here.   I would reckon this would be another great day at 
Kiptopeke and out on the CBBT, the two places where I most often see Vesper 
Sparrows 
around the southern tip of the peninsula.   A Yellow-billed Cuckoo was in the 
neighbor's boxwood garden this morning as well, a juv.
