Sunday morning, after the fog lifted, provided a wonderful walk at
Lilypons.  I meet-up with Mike Welch and we walked most of the ponds of
the main complex (south of Monocacy Bottom Rd.).
Highlights were:  Near Monocacy bottom Rd there was a Lincoln's sparrow,
near the house at a pond next to the entrance Rd we flushed an Am.
bittern that flew around in a large circle giving us several minuets of
viewing pleasure.
Soon after the bitter we were surrounded by a wheeling flock of Am
pipits, approximately 55 in all.
The total for Rusty blackbirds was 145, they out numbered Red-wings
almost 5:1.
Our total of 48 species for the morning surprised us both.
