Savannah Sparrow at Long Point (plus meadowlark), Field Sparrow at Aurora Bluffs, Swamp Sparrows along Wildlife Drive (westbound leg mainly).
Shovelers and Green-Winged Teals are the main birds at MNWR. Several shovelers were happily foraging close to the wildlife drive while Meena and I looked on, occasionally nod-grunting when pairs got close (a social distancing strategy I may or may not try to adopt at Wegmans :-), then suddenly the lot collectively swam away in minor alert. Looking in my rear view mirror I saw someone birding from their moonroof, which I assume was the cause of the minor alarm. Not blaming or anything (some of you will have seen me adopt the same moonroof strategy when photographing snowy and short-eared owls), just making an observation that the line between comfortable and caution for the birds can be subtle.
