Today Margaret Liubavicius and I birded part of Hanlan’s Point on a beautiful day and it wasn’t as quiet as it was Monday.
On the lake we found a Red-throated Loon and 2 Common Loons. Sparrow species are starting to increase a bit with 50+ White-throated Sparrows, 6 Lincoln’s Sparrows, 5 Dark-eyed Juncos and 20+ Song Sparrows.
