The Clay-colored Sparrow that had been present earlier in the week was not relocated. After 3 and 1/3 inches of rain over the past two days, the ponds were very high. Mallards and Green-winged Teal were still present, along with one Black Duck. Two Wood Ducks flushed from the small pond back behind the barns and a Kingfisher was also over there.
