Title: Ashbridges tonight
Post by: oridgen10 on April 14, 2016, 09:16:22 PM
Activity was heating up at Ashbridges tonight! A huge flock of Cedar Waxwings were moving through, and Sapsuckers and Flickers were present. Kinglets, Phoebes and a Hermit Thrush also. Sparrows were the highlight of the night, with Song Sparrows, two Swamp Sparrows where the fence line meets the water, a Vesper Sparrow a little further on, and two Fox Sparrows at the east point.
