A successful day in the field with two teams=2C one team of three and one o=
f one.  There was one feeder watcher.  Tentative analysis is of 53 species.=
  Highlights would be a winter wren at the residence of Dorothy Poole=2C a =
great blue heron in Port Mouton=2C and two double-crested cormorants one at=
 Liverpool and the other along Belle Road in Port Mouton.  My team had one =
yellow-rumped warbler at Port Mouton and there were 30 at Summerville Beach=
.  One of those at Summerville=2C I'm sure was an Audubon.  The yellow made=
 me think for an instant that I had a different warbler.  It was as bright =
as the yellow on a yellow-breasted chat.  I tried to get a photo=2C but it =
disappeared and we could not get it out in the open again.  Passerines were=
 hard to find with much open space.  Most were located at feeders.  The oce=
an was all but vacant.  I know there are tons of sea ducks on this count=2C=
 but they did not seem to be around today.  I saw a few birds=2C which like=
ly were rarer=2C but they snuck away on me without a positive ID.  They wil=
l be left as mysterious unknowns.  I usually do not miss accipters=2C but t=
wo got away on me today.  One I caught sight of just as it cleared some tre=
es and disappeared.  Likely=2C a red-tailed hawk.  The first time they were=
 missing on this count that I'm aware of.  The other I saw flying across th=
e 103 at a distance at about a foot above the ground.  Both will be left as=
 accipter sp. =20
