Twelve Birders enjoyed perfect weather at Marine Park where highlights included Vesper Sparrow, initially spotted by Bobbi then later re-found by group who enjoyed extended scope views of the cooperative pooecetes. Brief but clear views of Nelson's Sparrow were enjoyed by all. A falcon hat trick and two brief clapper rail sightings both spotted by Klemens rounded out the day.
