Today was an interesting day, at least weather-wise.  It started out cloudy
with light rain.  Around 8:30 it got foggy enough that the lake was not
visible.  A front went through dropping the temperature around 20 degrees.
After that the fog cleared.  The constant through the morning was a lack of
bird movement with both waterfowl and gulls.  Numbers on both groups were
pretty low today with nothing of note being seen.



The feeders were not much better today.  I had a group of 50+ redpolls show
up around 8:00.  Two came down to the feeders, a sharp-shinned flew in and
that was it for redpolls the rest of the morning.  The hoary was not seen.
