It was heavy overcast, foggy, cold, and windy, with some misting rain, on the bird survey today. 48 species were found. Was a miserable day for surveying and not the more pleasant conditions that were forecast. Visibility was very poor and the birds were scarce. Notable sightings today were continuing Common Gallinules and a flock of 16 Purple Finches feeding on Ash Seeds along Red Slough Road.
