I visited Rural Retreat Lake this morning to see if anything unusual
was there before the snow and cold weather predicted for the next two
or three days. This was the first day I had been there in quite a while
that the wind was not blowing so badly. The sparrows were enjoying the
calm, as I saw Song, Swamp, Field, White-throat and 2 Fox Sparrows. These
were the first Fox Sparrows I had seen at RRL this fall & winter. There
were the normal Canada Geese & Mallards along with 1 Ruddy Duck still on
the Lake (there have been Ruddy's present for at least three weeks now). I
also had 1 Hooded Merganser, 3 female Scaup, 1 Pied-bill Grebe and 16 Ring-
bill Gulls. Maybe the stormy weather predicted for Thanksgiving will stir
up the birds a little and bring something different.
