I'm sure I missed some duck species in the large rafts, and I must have scared up 15 sparrows that I did not ID. Great birding at a very nice facility with very helpful employees, one of whom went out of his way to advise me of a standard "loop" that birders take. Thanks to Andy Aldrich for publicizing this place.
Yesterday at Pine Pt., the Hudsonian Godwit was still present, but apparently not today. An odd sighting yesterday was a Ruffed Grouse just off the shoulder on the west side of Pine Pt. Road as it passes through Scarborough Marsh, far from dense cover.
