Birders,
Here is the list. Any corrections, etc., please email me. I had forgotten one or two from the list we had made earlier in the day. Great day for Fox Sparrows, a life bird for quite a few of the group and the Wrentit was everywhere in full view, especially at the drip. I think a count of 12 might have been low for this usually shy and retiring bird. I hope our photogs got some good pictures.

Thank you for your help in spotting and ID-ing the birds!!!
