Jan. 13, 2011 Tyler Hoar, my wife and I ventured to Long Point this afternoon to see the Spotted towhee and had an excellent view along with 40 + Brown headed cowbirds, 4 Common grackles, several American treen sparrows, 2 Common redpolls, a Marsh hawk, Dark eyed junco and a Rusty blackbird. Thanks go to Mrs. Finney for allowing us to view the birds and her hospitality.
