Mt. Pleasant was loaded with birds, crammed in the thickets along the stream. Most noticeable was an increase in SAVANNAHS (40) outside of their "reliable" hillside spot. 2 LINCOLNS, 3 WHITE-CROWNS, 22 CHIPPYS, 25 FIELD, 225 SONGS, 80 SWAMPS and 60 WHITE-THROATS. We also found 5 MEADOWLARK and a MERLIN that was harassing a group of crows.
