       Spent a couple of hours at mid-day at Hughes Hollow.  Checked the =
impoundments and then made a large loop-east on Hunting Quarter Rd to =
the middle parking lot, through the fields to the towpath, west to the =
hiker-biker and then north again to the impoundments.  Not a lot of =
birds around, but saw 13 Purple Finches (all brown plumage), 6 Winter =
Wrens, 2 Hermit Thrushes, and finally decent numbers of Cedar Waxwings =
(132).  More like spring than almost winter- heard tree frogs and spring =
peepers and saw a small red dragonfly.
       Afterwards drove the roads between Edward's Ferry and White's =
Ferry looking for the shrike but didn't find it.  Just a historical =
note-in 1972 and 1973 I found nesting Loggerhead Shrikes near the =
intersection of Elmer School and River Roads, near the area where one =
was seen recently.
