Water Pipit in the hay field late morning
A late morning walk from Springfield Bridge to Christmas Dell found the 2+ Water Pipits still present in the hay fields, along with 5+ Meadow Pipits. A Great White Egret flew over and a pair of Great-crested Grebes were sheltering behind the reeds as a Cetti's Warbler announced its presence. By midday the weather put a stop anymore birding.
