Thick fog along the lakefront this morning with little to no wind to disperse it. No new warblers seen, just a couple of Yellow-rumped and one Nashville and one Yellow warbler. FOY (for me at least) included: White-crowned sparrows x 2, Chipping Sparrow x1, Swamp sparrow x 1, and Red-headed woodpeckers x 2.

A few flicker were present and one Red-bellied WP. Not a single Hermit thrush seen all morning. Spotted a Brown Thrasher almost lost in the mist, a Gray catbird and a single Northern waterthrush. Once again, the most prevalent bird was the White-throated sparrow (hundreds of them) followed closely in number by RC kinglets. Unlike last visit, there was no Winter wren or Carolina wren seen today, but I did see a House wren.

I was amazed at the heavy fog last night, overnight and this morning right up to the windows!  TWN had issued a Fog Advisory with zero visibility warning for drivers.
