[mou] Lake County birds

[Jim Lind]

Sharon Lind and I birded Lake County in the rain and fog on Saturday 
and had some great sightings.  At the Beaver Bay sewage ponds there 
was a female Smith's Longspur, a Greater White-fronted Goose, a Ruddy 
Duck, and two Sandhill Cranes.  At the Castle Danger sewage ponds 
there was an Eared Grebe and a Yellow-headed Blackbird.  

We also saw a female Summer Tanager at a home along East Lakeshore 
Drive, just northeast of Silver Bay.  This is the exact same spot one 
was seen in late November last year so I assume the bird 
overwintered, although I haven't talked to the homeowners yet.

There was even a male Bobolink singing from the top of a dumpster in 
Beaver Bay.
