Found it at the south blowdown as reported with many Dark-eyed Juncos, and other sparrows. On the way a quick look at the Reservoir only from the west side yielded 12 Buffleheads, some Northern Shovelers and Ruddy Ducks and the usual gulls. Sandra Critelli reported a Peregrine Falcon flying over the north end of the park. Sol Shamilzadeh reports that he last saw the Sora at the Loch on Thursday (11/5). It was also reported on Wednesday.
