This morning (11/16) I made a brief trip to a blustery Meadowbrook Park. The 
highlight for me was seeing 3 American Pipits feeding in a grassy ball field west 
of the pavilion and parking lot. Two others flew overhead as did one Pine 
Siskin. A small flock of Chipping Sparrows huddled in a grassy area near the 
pathway; when one kept looking around and up I did too and noticed an adult 
Red-shouldered Hawk flying overhead. Also at Meadowbrook was my first Fox 
Sparrow of the season which is later than last year.
