Hi All, Looks as though I wasn't the only person out and about around Saylorville today. There was definitely an influx of birds over the past couple days. >From the dam, I had 10 species of waterfowl, a couple Common Loons, and good >numbers of Pied-billed Grebes. I also had 3 flyover AMERICAN PIPITS. At Cherry Glen, my only real noteworthy bird was a single SNOW BUNTING along the beach that didn't stay for long. At Oak Grove, I had a single PECTORAL SANDPIPER, my FOS Bonaparte's Gulls (19), and also my FOS American Tree Sparrows. Great looks at a spiffy young Harris's Sparrow were also enjoyable.
