The Point was quite birdy this morning with lots of feeding robins, house finches and cedar waxwings. A seed pile along Lighthouse Avenue is drawing lots of sparrows, among which was a Tree Sparrow and a Fox Sparrow. The biggest surprise of the walk though was a young Mute Swan walking up the center line of the road! It eventually waddled off the road, heading toward Lighthouse Pond.
