Hello all. 

I birded Weinberg Park along with a couple of local ponds and was happy 
with what I found. 

The RHWO activity keeps going here in North County, as the Weinberg bird 
was re-found today. It was heard calling and seen shooing a grackle off of 
a tree branch; it's a priveledge to watch these seldom seen birds. Also, 
the Ft. Smallwood RHWO's were seen several times over the past week.
