I made a quick run this morning up to Pace again, to get a little practice with 
a new camera before work today. Most of my time was spent in the sparrow field. 
I had at least 10 LeConte's today, with 6 birds in the south end of the field 
that I didn't get to on Sunday. I had 3 birds sitting up in view here at one 
time. I also had 4 birds in the north end where I had the birds on Sunday. Once 
again, several sat up for prolonged views. This was fortunate, as I was doing a 
lot of fiddling with the camera! Also out there today were a Vesper and Sedge 
Wren.

Pace Point had about the same mix, though the Franklin's were nowhere to be 
found, leaving only Ringers and a few Herring. Lots of ducks around, but 
nothing unusual in the time I was there.

I have added a couple of additional shots of LeConte's from today, as well as a 
juv. Bald Eagle that happened by at Pace.
These are in the same gallery as before:

On a different note, I was gently persuaded by Bill Pulliam to start entering 
my sightings into eBird. I had intended to at least look at this long ago, but 
just never did. I would encourage anyone, especially anyone like me who has yet 
to go to an electronic form of record keeping, to give it a try. My records are 
from posts, and just on a big stack of checklists and various notes. eBird has 
definitely made it easier for me to keep up with stuff, and I really wish I had 
started long ago, as it will now take me forever to enter all the old data I 
have. I want my data to be useful in the big picture, but is also nice having 
it organized in a way that many others already have (those on AviSys, etc).

Good Birding!!
