Hi Bob, and all.
 Just a note of correction. The proper name of this place is TRIADELPHIA Reservoir. There is an A in there, as in Philadelphia. Means 3 brothers, I think, referring to the original landowners or something like that. Anyway, on another note, the Triadelphia Christmas Bird Count compiler is looking for a replacement, or it may not happen this year. If anyone is interested in taking over you should try to contact Jay Jones ASAP, or perhaps leave a message here.

My daughter Kathy, being from Seattle, didn't mind the wet gloomy weather today, but I would have preferred sunshine. At Greenbridge Road, we ran into Joe Hanfman and 3 others (forgot to record names - sorry), who pointed out a Common Loon, the only thing we saw from there. 
 
At Tridelphia Lake Rd, there were no waterfowl, but we did see some land birds, the best being a Winter Wren and 2 Fox Sparrows. Kathy was struck by how much different our Fox Sparrows, Song Sparrows, and flickers are from those she sees in the Northwest. 
 
The WIWR was along the tiny "causeway" between the parking lot and the picnic/recreation area, in and around the clumps of caged rocks on the left side, and the FOSP were about 20 yards further, on the right side.  WARNING: The Montgomery side of Tridelphia will be closed for HUNTING tomorrow, 11/25. Apologies for not getting this posted earlier. 
 
In about 15 minutes of searching, we saw absolutely nothing from Brighton Dam.
