That is a great bird spot. Thank you Don for the nice descriptions, really who would say a "peep" about a semipalmated sandpiper? Very quiet here, not working today except about the house (lights) our migrants are long gone, now winter residents and wintering visitors are here. I can't complain about varied thrushes winter wrens and tounsend's solitaires, though. When the lake may freeze, then no surface feeders (few) only diving ducks, who can move to open water at the river or larger lakes. We are indeed blessed with birdlife here, but still relatively few look around to see, as anywhere. Some numbers of hunters here, but I find that most birdhunters have respect for birds much as I do.
