The KTOS outing was called due to cold and windy weather. Two of us went 
anyway, and happened to run into each other there (Doug Schneeberger and 
I). Doug got there a little earlier, and had already scored some very 
nice sightings before I got there, including the 2 winter wrens and a 
fox sparrow. I caught up with him about a quarter-mile along on the Will 
Skelton Greenway, and we spent the rest of the morning together. It was 
cold, especially with the wind, but we were dressed for it, and the 
birds were out. We both saw the fox sparrow as we returned to the 
parking area on McClure Lane!
