A quick look around and my observation is many sparrows, presumably White-throated Sparrows and Junco .Butterfly Meadow is good for today's northwest wind flight.There is potential for something good if you get out there. Perhaps also increase in winter species would be noted. ( but its a busy day for me working).
More later,
Latest: Rob Bate reports that PHILADELPHIA VIREO has returned to the Wellhouse Szechuan Peppercorn tree out front. 12:30 text

******************************
From Rob Bate:
Flushed a Woodcock as you noted on Breeze Hill. Lots of sparrows in most locations, mostly Song.
The Wellhouse served up the lingering Philadelphia Vireo, Baltimore Oriole, and Black-throated Blue (the one I tried to turn into a Philly Vireo. ) Also, Larry flushed the Woodcock later along the Lullwater below Breeze Hill.

From Larry:
Hi Peter,
I ran into Rob Bate today and he told he thought he'd seen a woodcock by Breeze Hill. Looks like he did--climbing up the southern side of the hill to get around the construction by the rink, I flushed one that zipped away, wings whistling! This was about noon.
Other birds of note: Blackpoll Warbler by Three Sisters and there's an American Wigeon on the upper pool. Lots of common sparrows.
