Today was very different from yesterday.  Yesterday there were lots of birds
and great variety.  Numbers were way down today with limited variety.  Best
birds were 2 long-tailed ducks that were sitting on the lake.

Songbirds were slower today also with no redpolls or crossbills and only a
single siskin.
