The other participants were John Ball and Drew Thornblad. We started along the river trying to find a sharp-tailed sparrow. We didn't find one but we did find a very late Yellow-billed Cuckoo and a couple of Winter Wrens. Walking through the more upland regions of the park, we did end up finding 8 species of sparrow, including 2 Lincoln's Sparrows. Also interesting was the six Eastern Screech-Owls that returned Rick's owl imitation. Overhead,we observed migrating Black Vultures, Red-tailed Hawks and Tree Swallows.
