     Emy H. and I birded meadowbrook this afternoon looking for =
sparrows. There was a woeful lack of lbj's and SONGS and WHITE-THROATS =
were all we could find. We did find our first GREEN HERON along the =
shoreline of the last pond (behind the sound barriers). The poor fellow =
looked exhausted and we were careful not to get close and spook him. =
There was a lovely pair of WOOD DUCKS swimming together and the male =
made soft whistling notes to the female. 3 pairs of CANADA GEESE on =
nests. A pair each of RED-TAILS and RED-SHOULDERS but no evidnece of =
their nests. A single KESTREL perched along the road. A group of 12 =
COMMON FLICKERS and a single NORTHERN-ROUGH WING SWALLOW were passing =
through. Up on the hillside- a BLUEBIRD that just took your breath away.
