A nice day to go to PP, but the bird activity was very low. Nothing unusual, the feeders at Breezy Hill were almost birdless, the lake mostly frozen, with good numbers of gulls, especially Ring-billed.
Later, while walking around the frozen pools, I saw 1 Great Blue Heron, and the best, the American Pipit, a single individual inside the fenced area near the ball fields in the Long Meadow.
