Cold, 30s', drizzly. Had the day off and went to all my spots.
Long Road--Pine Warbler having a territory skirmish with Yellow-Rumped Warbler.
Nothing at Shaw Road.
YMCA bridge -- Several Osprey fishing, group of all ages of Great Black-backed Gulls, Cormorants, Great Blue Herons.
Winsegansett -- Heard a big Oystercatcher racket going on. There were two pairs of them doing their piping tournament thing, squawking and flying in unison.
Thought I saw Snowy Owl, but turned out to be Great Egret. Lots of Dunlin, but no more Horned Larks.
Lots of goldfinches and house finches on the feeders today because of the rain. YELLOW

Temps in the 20s, sunny, very windy.
Winsegansett--tide too high to hike...saw 2 AMOY napping near the pond in front of Lou's house....almost joined to the sea.
TONS of robins in every yard and field. Some lawns so flooded they got Mallards.
Walked rail trail from Shaw Road to YMCA. Lots of Golden-crowned Kinglets, at the bridge saw Hooded and RB Mergansers, Grebes, startled a Great Blue Heron.
Mill Road--just Mallards and one Mute Swan.
In the evening went to Shaw Road. Saw Greater White-fronted Goose at the bend with the Canadas. Lots of Woodcock displaying in the big yards near the bike path. Heard a Killdeer

Winsegansett for SEANET
Calm, 40s. When I started it had just stopped drizzling and there was 100% cloud cover and fog coming off the ice.
By the time I finished it was sunny and almost cloudless.
41 Brant, 23 Herring Gulls, 2 Black Ducks, 27 Common Eider, 1 Common Loon, 2 Red-breasted Merganser, 6 Dunlin, 1 Killdeer, 12 Horned Larks, 1 American Pipit, 2 House Finch, 2 Song Sparrows, 6 Mallards, 3 Yellow-rumped Warblers.
As I rushed to get back before the incoming tide made the inlets too deep, ran into a Snowy Owl. It stayed a long time before buzzing me on its way to the marsh.
Fantastic!
