A couple hours birding with my parents and daughter around Paris Landing SP and Big Sandy Unit yielded mostly the same birds as the NTOS field trip except for 2 white phase snow geese, white-crowned sparrows, and the silhouette of a distant double-crested cormorant that briefly suggested the possibility of a loon with an up-turned bill (all in the Britton Ford area)...
