Hi everyone,

I've had several inquiries as to the status of the site. So...

- We are open.
- The wetland is fine/accessible.
- The only great bird was a Brown Pelican that I accidentally flushed when I drove past, and it was also in an employees-only location. It headed towards Sparrows Point and is probably hanging out there. I think this is the same juvenile that Stan had on Saturday.
- Good birds included Fox Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow, Bufflehead (FOS), Dunlin (distant), and Pine Siskin (feeding with sparrows in wetland).

That's all. Sounds like Dan is having better luck down at Sandy Point anyway.
