Hey Thursday birders! The Clay-colored Sparrow at Saratoga Battlefield is proving to be reliable, so let's meet at the south entrance at 8:00. From there we can regroup and bird the tour road.

There are 4 Barred Owls hooting up a storm near my house this morning. Sounds like two pairs calling back and forth a couple hundred yards away from each other.
