Cynide Loeper and I had over 30 Fox Sparrow this morning at Lilypons. Very windy, especially early on, but plenty of White-crowned there as well. There is also still at least one Lapland Longspur hanging around with the lark flocks on Oland Rd.

According to the Yellow Book, this is exactly when large numbers of them start to pass through. It seems like the cheap millet attracts more interesting birds than the expensive sunflower seed. And the seed-eaters have attracted a Cooper's Hawk. Still no titmice, though.
