I can't go on the club walk tomorrow, so I took myself to Dryden Lake
this morning and found it satisfyingly birdy.
The highlights were a Bald Eagle carrying a branch to the nest where the
partner was waiting, two very close-in Common Loons, and lots of
sparrows including Song, Swamp, Chipping, Field, and Savannah. Ebird
list is below.
