Sprinter is here

talk about a dumb title, ha! It meant to refer to that short twilight period of birding that we will find ourselves in for the next, say 1-4 weeks, with winter hanger-ons and new spring arrivals mixed in. Today was still pretty quiet in that respect @ Meadowside Nature Center. Only notables were FOS Chipping Sparrow, 1 single Tree Swallow, a single Phoebe and several Wood Ducks. Most of the Ring-necks and Hoodies had left the lakes with only 2 Hoodies remaining. 4 Pied-billed Grebes was a high count for me on L. Needwood and worth trying to take some extraordinarily crappy pictures. Well, I will blame it on the fog.

It's a pied-billed Grebe - just take my word for it
