I had my first-of-season LINCOLN'S SPARROWS at the Point Edwards
Public Path this morning. Even with the sun and calmer waters on the
Sound, it made it feel as if autumn is really here. I think there
were more fishing boats than birds on the Sound. There was a notable
absence of grebes on the salt water. There was more activity of
resident birds in the Willow Creek Hatchery than there has been of late.
