Hi all --

A bit breezy but sunny at Lilypons today -- we got there about mid-morning. It was rather quiet, not as birdy as in recent visits. Perhaps if the wind dies down there might be more activity. No sign of the Marsh Wren or Yellowthroat seen two weekends ago.

Best birds:  Bufflehead (3, male), Virginia Rail (1, heard only), Wilson's Snipe (~15), Eastern Phoebe (1), Winter Wren (3), Fox Sparrow (2-3), Swamp Sparrow (~12). No Tree Sparrows seen but they could be there! Otherwise a general selection of the "usual suspects."
