Sighting

While searching for birds on Wilson and Mill creeks today I found a few rare and late individuals braving the cold. Wilson delta sported a Swamp Sparrow, Lincoln Sparrows and an Orange-crowned Warbler. On Mill delta an American Tree Sparrow was foraging in willows and further up creek a Hermit Thrush took shelter in thickets of rose. Lots to see under thick and cold clouds.
