Highlights of a morning ramble around the Woodstock floodplain fields
behind the sewage plant, with Kyle Jones, Spencer and Dog Hardy, and
Kent McFarland. A great raptor show, with several interactions between
species, and surprising numbers of sparrows for late August. Despite
last night's cool northwest air flow, there appeared to be no influx of
true migrants. We had 41 species total, which included only 2 warblers.
