Hi all,

  About mid morning I was birding along Beach Dr. just south of Knowles Ave, when I came across birds moving thru the brush.  As I investigated this patch, up pops a Lincoln's Sparrow!
This is the second time I've gotten a Lincoln's in this area, (got one up at Lake Needwood some time ago).   Another neat sighting was 3 young Cedar Waxwings perched on a limb waiting for food. They were still too young to fly and it's getting on in the season. 
Lots of activity today, warblers being good.
