Hi all,
 The monthly trip to Blue Mash was attended by 9 people , a few who  had not 
been there before. It was a rather slow day, with 49 species seen.  Weather 
was unseasonably warm, with little or no wind. 45-70degrees.
 
Highlights were a late House Wren, many great looks a Savannah Sparrows,  and 
a fewPurple Finchs including a nice purple male. Other finds included a  few 
Palm Warblers, many Ruby-crowned Kinglet, a single Golden-crowned Kinglet,  
Sharp-shinned Hawk, Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks, lots of waxwings, a  
single Fox Sparrow, a large flock (approx 50) of Killdeer, Ruddy Ducks, and A.  
Black Ducks.
 
But still rather quiet for this time of year.
