Vesper Sparrow still present at 9:40 to 9:50. Beautiful eye ring. As Bill said, thanks Chris Rimmer for altering us to this bird!

I pulled into the Ledyard Bridge RR station (up back by the tracks). I never got out of my car. Just rolled down the window and watched from the relative comfort of car, without disturbing the Vesper . Trophy looks ! Even took pics with my iPhone. 12 feet away. Just “foraging” …the sparrow shuffle/ scratch. Great eye ring, light color, white chin, white mustache, streaky breast, pink legs. ~10 Co. Mergs sprinkled around the Pompy Flats, water very low. BiSh Thanks Chris Rimmer !
