Went out Thursday afternoon. A bit too windy to get good looks at sparrows but many were around. Had quick looks at Song, White Throat and a Clay-colored. Some sandpipers were also flying around, but too far out to i d. Also saw Ruddy Ducks, Coots, a Yellow-rumped Warbler and was entertained by a quintet of E. Meadowlarks. The real news though was the lack of trees there. Both of the small woodlots adjacent to the parking lot are gone. No doubt migrant warblers and such will be bypassing this area in the future. Sad..... See you on the trails. Chris Pierce N.
