Perfect day on the landfill. Chilly but not cold or windy; damp and misty (but not rainy so tolerable level of fogginess on bins); everything camouflaged in various shades of brown, tan, yellow and green and some good birds. While yesterday’s two cattle egrets were one day wonders; center path held 2 horned lark, 8 snow buntings, 3 meadowlarks flew several times just west of main path, single merlin (on ground), single N. Harrier, 50 or so pipits, no unusual sparrows but several savannah, chipping and a few swamp, and the real surprise in bushes near east side path a Yellow billed cuckoo. If you bird the landfill please stay on two main paths. The restoration project thanks you.
