We spent a pleasant morning and early afternoon at CSP today. Highlights included eight species of sparrows in the northern section of the restoration fields, the most notable being a single Vesper Sparrow. At the manure pile a single Common Redpoll made a brief appearance. In the fields south of the mansion a flock of approx. fifty American Pipits were feeding in the short grass. Despite viewing over a thousand Canada Geese at various field locations, we could not pick out anything of interest - even a hybrid frankengoose. Other birds present in good numbers were Fox Sparrow (15), Field Sparrow (8), Winter Wren (8), and Song Sparrow (58) - take that Andrew!
