Paul Gardner, Brad Sparks and I spent this rainy morning afield, mostly
in Franklin Co, abirding. Some notable finds included:
        *Glacier Ridge MP--at dawn, one Am bittern persistently calling, one in
flight; one Va rail calling, some rusties w/red-winged blackbirds;
        *Battelle-Darby MP--thirteen waterfowl species; shorebirds: ~20 greater
yellowlegs, ~40 lesser yellowlegs, 26 pectoral SPs, a dozen killdeers,
25 Wilson's snipes; two courting marsh wrens (they apparently wintered
here, and a nest would the first in the county for many a year; the
first mute swan spotted here (yuck); ran into Irina Shulgina, who had
arrived here at dawn and found two Am bitterns and a short-eared owl at
Kuhlwein marsh;
        *Greenlawn Dam--some mudflat emerging, where we saw seven Caspian
terns, a few ring-billed and one Bonaparte's gull, and a nice flock of
four feeding Forster's terns.
No house sparrows seen.
