One can only speculate about the number of sparrows present at the Rea Farm right now. In this morning's 15 mph wind, a lot of them were hunkered down, making only brief appearances as we moved along the grassy edges. Though the Lincoln Sparrow allowed only the briefest of views as it flew away, Savannah and Swamp Sparrows were a bit kinder to us and we had good looks at those. A real treat was the Red-shouldered Hawk that circled above us for a bit, allowing us to see its beautiful and distinctive wing crescents. Group 1 Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn.
