I can't top Gail and Barry's numbers, as Lisa and I spent less time in a
smaller area (plus we didn't count sparrows).  However, we did see 6 PINE
SISKINS and a male PURPLE FINCH.  Also present were two EASTERN PHOEBEs
(both might different from their phoebe); there were five Myrtle
(Yellow-rumped) Warblers up by where our cars were parked along the
fencerows with four Eastern Bluebirds.  As we were walking along a high
dike down near a stream, we flushed an adult (male?; small) SHARP-SHINNED
HAWK from a brier tangle; the hawk was some eight or nine feet from my eyes
before it took off.  We also saw a female AMERICAN KESTREL and a
Merlin/Peregrine.  No bitterns or wrens for us.  )-:
