Howdy All!
Lots of little birds all over the park after the heavy rains. The American 
Goldfinches and Pine Siskins are still here in large numbers all over the park. 
It was a good day for sparrows. I wish I had more time to really get in some 
birding. The spillway by the dam had Swamp, Song, and Lincoln's. The bird of 
the day though, was the Le Conte's Sparrow singing in the tall grass of the 
spillway. I never could get the little guy to show himself. Blackjack Nature 
Trail was also full of goldfinches and siskins and Chipping Sparrows. Wood 
Ducks and singing Winter Wren were at the Beaver Pond. For not getting to 
really bird, I did pretty well.

Here's the list:
