Hello all. 

I managed a couple of good hours of birding between rain showers this 
morning. 

I found some of Stan Arnold's Snow Geese today over Weinberg Park. There 
were 40 of them and they flew right over Bill Hubick's house!  Also had 
Bufflehead, Ruddy Duck and great numbers for Hermit Thrush as well as an 
excellent sparrow flight.
