all,
We had a Quartet of Dunlins at Leonard's pond today. There were two Common
Terns reported there today as well but were absent when we arrived. At Hone
Quarry along the Western Mountains we found a Lincoln's Sparrow hanging out
behind the pond/dam in the catails and marshy brambly area. It didn't stay put
for very long but did pop up several times and decent looks were had. Also seen
there were Swamp and Song Sparrows. See eBird list below.
