The low pressure system and southeast winds (which drive water into the Baylands) resulted in a very good tide, reaching the top of the "S" on the post at "the corner". Four birders, who had been there since just after 8am, had failed to find any Black Rails and a quick walk up and down the road didn't turn any up for me. Calling SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS flying by were my first for 2005 (new for composite list?). I walked quickly out along the airstrip and immediately found a SWAMP SPARROW at the far end of the row of sandbags on the right side of the path. This bird appeared to be a first-winter bird and looked somewhat different than the bird I saw here last month, so perhaps there are more than one out there.
