Hi,
 White-throated Sparrows are still around in small numbers. I saw  one this 
morning while out with the dog. On my MBC club outing on Saturday to  Blue 
Mash, I saw a single adult WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW (late) eating dandelion  seeds 
right in the middle of the grassy trail, very early. Savannahs seem to be  gone 
now though.
 
Also still a lingering pair of Blue-winged Teal at the pond at Blue Mash,  
along with A. Coot, Solitary and Spotted Sandpipers, a Killdeer with 4 eggs  
sitting on her nest right on the gravel entrance road. I had 2 separate pairs of  
calling Barred Owls, and was able to call in one from each pair into view at 
the  edge of their territories. We watched a pair of male (one adult and one 
1st  yr.) Orchard Orioles battling in the air and on the ground over a female,  
and a Yellow-breasted Chat put on a  good show.
