Went to see the sparrows this morning at the Conservancy. I missed Tree Sparrows but I ran into Bridgette? (sp) who had seen two. The Fox Sparrows were out of control! At least a dozen I also had two Meadowlarks in the 99 � Woodstock Rd corner along with a Kestrel.

My FOY Osprey was over my house yesterday.

For any herpers out there I have 3 pics and a video of a Salamander I am trying to figure out. At first I thought Dusky but I have seen some pictures of young Northern Reds that also seem possible.

Some might wonder what sparrows and salamanders have in common? They both start with the letter S and are both darn cute
