Montrose Point, 2016 March 27

1:35 – 3:05pm
Conditions: Overcast, rain approaching. 57° F.

We saw 22 different species today in 1.5 hours at the hedge. Here is the list: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S28584539.

Highlights: Winter Wrens (a first for us), Fox Sparrows (also a first), Mourning Dove, and an American Kestrel. I wish I had a good picture to share of the Kestrel but it was not to be. Participate in my frustration!

Winter Wren. Only decent photo I got.

Perfect portrait of a Song Sparrow. (Photo: my wife.)

This young Robin was photogenic (Photo: my wife.)

Photo sans head of the American Kestrel. The quality of the photo was the best of the lot, but no head!

The great, blurry American Kestrel.
