At 8:00 am today, I went to the Queenstown sod farm.  There was nothing, 
nada, zilcho.  Not a gull, sparrow, swallow, shorebird, landbird, etc.  
Maybe tomorrow.

Yesterday, I had a Veery just outside my front window.  This morning, a 
Black throated Blue.  The moral may be to just sit in my chair and drink 
tea and let the birds come to me.
