This morning at Dennison Sewage Ponds there was, among the expected waterfowl, a large (perhaps a hundred) flock of small, brownish, very active, very vocal birds with high-pitched voices. They circled and landed frequently, and seemed to feed and drink with rapid-fire precision among rocks and at water's edge along the grass/dirt banks. They landed and rose as a flock repeatedly, in various spots, but the action was so intense I was never able to get a decent glance at any individual, no matter how many times they repeated the behaviors. I have only seen American Pipits individually, and only a handful of times, but I'm wondering if this flock's behavior matches theirs - and hoping someone else has seen them there today. Thanks for any help. Linda Whyte
