Justin Proctor and Emilie Ospina joined me in searching for the Nelson's at Hog Hole this evening. We failed to find it, instead finding many Song Sparrows, at least four Swamp Sparrows, a Spotted Sandpiper, and the four Brant back in their usual spot at the entrance to the marina. We also checked the ducks at Stewart, where we had all the species I had this morning, plus about 20 female Common Mergansers. The scaup sp. was too far out to photograph well (my camera won't digiscope).
