Sparrows are on the move, with White-throated, Swamp and Savannah seen this morning at Cox Hall Creek. A skein of Double-created Cormorants migrated high overhead, an adult Bald Eagle flew in low right over the parking lot at the very end of the walk and three osprey were still present, soon to leave for their long flight to South America.
