Went out early this morning to track down some nocturnal songsters.  High
winds prevented any calls being heard (outside Robins).  While driving
Industrial Lane off the south of Duncannon Road I flushed three Upland
Sandpipers put down by the storm (had flushed Greater Yellowlegs from same
spot during similar conditions earlier in the week).  Likely these are gone
now, but it may be worth checking the area.

Also seen/heard along Duncannon

Grasshopper Sparrow- numerous
Henslow's Sparrow- 2 calling
Blue Grosbeak- 1
Swamp Sparrow- 1

At big pond off White Hall Road in northern Madison Co.

Greater Yellowlegs- 3
Lesser Yellowlegs- 6
Wilson's Snipe- 1
Solitary Sandpiper- 1
Spotted Sandpiper- 2
Blue Grosbeak- 1 (calling from brush along road)
Savannah Sparrow- 2-3 heard calling
