At the park, I ran into Linda Freedman and Jim Figlar. We found numbers of Song and Swamp Sparrows at the concrete culvert along with a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, a Blue-headed Vireo, a Northern House Wren, Gray Catbirds, White-throated Sparrows, and at least 3 Lincoln's Sparrows.
The low path along the higher vegetation revealed an Eastern Phoebe, 7 Red-winged Blackbirds, 6 Savannah Sparrows, 6 Chipping Sparrows, 2 Field Sparrows, and another Lincoln's Sparrow.
Other notables seen among the 33 species included a Cooper's Hawk, an American Kestrel, a Common Raven, 9 Eastern Bluebirds, 9 Brown-headed Cowbirds, and at least 50 each of Blue Jays and Cedar Waxwings.
I left there and made a run to some local ponds. At the Hollo Road retention pond were 16 Green-winged Teal and 2 Killdeer.
The Newburg Road retention pond produced 19 Killdeer among 43 Canada Geese, plus a Red-tailed Hawk, 13 Song Sparrows, 7 Savannah Sparrows, and a Palm Warbler.
At Green Pond, 2 Great Egrets continued as did the Solitary Sandpiper.
Birds seen along the paved path included a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, a Northern Flicker, 2 Eastern Bluebirds, an American Goldfinch, 6 Song Sparrows, 3 Chipping Sparrows, 4 Savannah Sparrows, a Swamp Sparrow, and 2 Yellow-rumped Warblers, plus there were 2 Killdeer were at the back middle pond.
