Hello Tweets,

Today my mother and I birded the Elma-Brady areas, where the weather was
quite wet, with rain at times. We started N of Elma, along N.Blockhouse
Rd., accessed off of Hwy.12, where a single white-striped WHITE-THROATED
SPARROW was noted in a blackberry/manure patch with other sparrows, just
before it actually began to rain. 20 TUNDRA SWANS were visible in the
flooded field, just SW of the patch. Next, we birded along Brady Loop Rd.,
and Monte-Brady Loop Rd., where highlights included 2 ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS(1
adult,and 1 imm.), 2 WESTERN SANDPIPERS, with 24 DUNLIN, and 5 B.B.PLOVERS,
25 TUNDRA SWANS, 7 TRUMPETER SWANS, and 1 AM.KESTREL, and 1 W.SCRUB JAY.
