We did not get out there untill 1000 am. Denny Granstrand joined us for a
short while. While with us south of Bassett Park he saw a potential
clay-colored sparrow. I only saw it as it flew into a tree and my first
thought was chipping. Denny, who had a better view, said it had a streaked
crown and central spot on breast. I asked him if he saw alot of marking on
the face (I thought I had seen this with my glimpse). He said he had that
look as well. What I think got away from us was a clay-colored sparrow. We
could not relocate the bird after our initial look. Also along these same
lines Randy had a bird at the north end of the Park in the Russian olives
that he felt on first glimpse to be a winter wren. We could not relocate
that bird as well. It seems we have to have a few big ones get away for
that is what brings us BACK! Much to my wife's displeasure!

On another line I was on the Westport Pelagic yesterday and we had no rare
sightings. But calm ocean was good, good bird was several flesh-footed
shearwaters and south polar skua. I also drove down to the Mad River,
Mckinleyville and saw the common greenshank just wanted to mention that.
