Hi all,
The path downstream was loaded with 200+
passerines. Farther down the path was a large weedy
field and over 100 sparrows scattered all over the
field, many remain unidentified as they spent most of
their time hiding. It was a great day for birding, a
lot of bird activites
both upstream and downstream and some at the Hawkwatch
On The Hill. Excellent day for hawks too.
