The Greater White-fronted area back this morning, though no sign of the
Snow. Not sure how long that will last though, as an RC person is buzzing
the lawn with a helicopter.
Lots of snipe and meadowlarks and water birds at the boardwalk.
A couple of kestrels, two kites, a very wet Cooper's, etc. as well.
Happy New Year birding!
