Hi all,
Besides the Lappies along Lilypons Road, we did have a other few birds of interest. However it was in general much slower-- thanks to the fog -- than the same areas we scouted Friday. And by the time the fog lifted and we went into Lilypons proper, it was pretty late and not unexpectedly, rather quiet. No sign of the Marsh Wrens or any Snipe.
Birds of interest:
Bishop Claggett Ctr.: 1 close perched adult Cooper's Hawk), 2 Golden-crowned Kinglets; 12+ White-crowned Sparrows, 2 late Chipping Sparrows
(checklist: ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S12206607 )
Lilypons Road: 10 (at least) Lapland Longspurs; 60+ Horned Larks; Common Raven, heard only - overhead in fog.

Lilypons Water Gardens: 2 adult Bald Eagles; 8 Hooded Mergansers; 1 Eastern Phoebe; 1 Common Raven, heard only, 6 Swamp Sparrows
