Had a chance to get out to the Soccerplex yesterday afternoon, and had a
number of season firsts:
5 Eastern Meadowlarks - mostly around the high-voltage power lines
3 grasshopper sparrows - 2 seen by the driving range, 1 heard later on
Eastern Kingbird
Orchard Oriole
Spotted Sandpiper - in the farthest back retention pond
For the sparrow enthusiasts, there were also chipping, song and
white-throated hanging around.
