I took a walk though Sheldon's Marsh around noon today. It was pretty quiet but loaded with flocks of American Robins. Ran into a couple mixed-species flocks of Yellow-rumped Warblers, White-throated Sparrows, White-crowned Sparrows, Dark-eyed Juncos, Tree Sparrows, Northern Cardinals, and Black-capped Chickadees. Other I found species include Carolina Wren, Eastern Bluebird, Red-winged Blackbirds, Common Grackles, Red-tailed Hawk (sitting over the trail), Brown Creeper, White-breasted Nuthatch, Mallards, Blue Jays, Song Sparrows, and House Finch. There were several gulls in the water but they were too far out for positive ID. The two highlights were a Pie-billed Grebe near the shore and a flock of 20 Rusty Blackbirds.
