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!
