All:

I, too, was lucky enough to see one of Dave Currie's two Lark Sparrows  
on the path to Back Cove, Hartlen Pt. And there's little point in my  
posting my relatively inferior photo given Paul Murray's fine ones.  
Interesting that with first cold front and following northwesterlies  
in some days, this westerner should show up.

There were also, as Dave noted, numbers of warblers in Back Cove - I  
got 8 cf. his 12 species. One very puzzling vireo, half way along the  
western leg of the path to Back Cove, looked remarkably like a worn  
Cassin's Vireo to me, not nearly so bright as the fresh-plumaged  
Dartmouth bird in November-December 2004. I only got one hopeless  
image because my wretched point-and-shoot refused to autofocus on the  
bird in its complicated foliage surroundings. Might be worth seekl\ing  
tomorrow a.m.
