It was a cold and windy lunch hour at Wickiup Hill. The birds were there. At the feeders were 4 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. At the marsh there were abundant Swamp Sparrows and Marsh Wrens, one of which posed nicely (link below). There were Yellow, Yellow-rumped and Common Yellothroats representing the warblers. There were a Blue-headed Vireo and a Northern Waterthrush. There was thrush (Gray-cheeked?) and dozens of White-throated Sparrows. All told there were nearly 40 species in a short lunch break.
