Watching a flock of >30 robins on the office parking lot all afternoon, 
I ran upriver at 6 pm this evening, wondering if the interesting weather 
might produce interesting birds.  Nothing out of the ordinary for water 
birds, but I had a female kestrel at the Pompy Farms oxbow and a nice 
male Yellow-rumped Warbler at Kendall Flats.  The best birding was at 
Campbell Flats from 7-7:15.  I flushed 6 Wilson's Snipe out of the wet 
sedge meadow on the north side of the road, 4 Savannah Sparrows along 
the edge of the cut corn field, and I watched a lone American Pipit 
foraging for earthworms on the sleet-covered road.
