> Another great morning birding at Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens. 73 species found with the best bird being a GRASSHOPPER SPARROW seen in the abandoned part of Kenilworth Park right at the abandoned restroom (this is the woodcock spot back towards the power plant). I also ended up with 6 shorebird species (Killdeer, Snipe, FOY both Yellowlegs, FOY Spotted Sand, and FOY Least Sand). The Yellowlegs were in a wet spot on the soccer fields and the Least was on the mud in the pond grids at KAG.
