Hi all,

  Got up to Lake Needwood this morning, and birded the north part of Needwood Rd bridge.
Many birds active; Lincoln's Sparrow, and lots of Yellow rumped Warblers and Kinglets of both species. Birded Meadowside later in the morning, not as many birds.  No thrushes seen, other than Robins and Bluebirds. Strange?
