In fields along the road we saw the usual
Piglets, Savannah Sparrows, Meadowlarks
and Blackbirds + a few Horned Larks,
and at one stop (to investigate a butes
which turned out to be a Red-tail) we saw
a flock of about 25 am. Goldfinches and
2 Greenbacks. At a barnyard nearby
one possible Starling (a "black bird" with
a short tail) was glimpsed in a flock of
Braver's Blackbirds + Redwings but lost sight of.
