I birded Pt. Lookout for about an hour this morning before classes with some good results. It was very foggy and visibility was extremely limited, so unfortunately I had no luck checking the sandbar for shorebirds. However, I did have a number of early migrants including Phoebe (heard only), several Pine Warblers and Chipping Sparrows, and a Louisiana Waterthrush. The two Marsh Wrens that have been reported from the phrag pond were active and singing this morning. I had fleeting looks at one and very good exposed views of the second. There were also several Rusty Blackbirds mixed in with the grackles, cowbirds and red-wings.
