I walked the Dyke Marsh trail today from about 1pm to 2:45. Weather
was fantastic, but bird life was a little sparse. High point was the
pair of Bald Eagles soaring overhead, and a very striped sparrow that
was light in color, possibly a Savannah Sparrow but he did not
cooperate by posing for me so I could confidently ID him. Could
identify the Buteo that was sitting in a tree across the water because
of the lighting.
