Hi, all!
Today was Ken's clean-up day, starting with a long-shot dawn watch at the
FM1015 Pond in hopes of flyover geese - nada. :-( But a visit to Delta Lake
Park hit pay dirt with a flyover Ringed Kingfisher and a great but brief
look at a Swamp Sparrow and a wintering Yellow Warbler! Picked up the Snowy
Plover at Hargill Playa along with a female Hooded Merganser as a highlight
(plus a Say's Phoebe driving in and a Great Horned Owl that flew by and
landed in broad daylight), and finally bagged his Vesper Sparrow on
Brushline Road! Three mediocre pictures are on my Facebook page (both the
sparrows woulda been cracking had they sat still.):
