Ten of us joined leader Andy Aldrich at the sewage ponds for a busy 3 hours of birding under mostly cloudy skies. It was breezy but warm as we ambled around the productive property.

Highlights included pipits in the scope, a large movement of robins, several Pectoral Sandpipers, a remarkable 31 coots, and a scaup challenge.
