 We travelled to Walden Ponds this morning hoping to catch a glimpse of the fox sparrow that has been reported there. We got skunked on the fox, but it was great to be out on one of the shortest days of the year. Our bird of the day would be the mink we saw at Cottonwood Marsh, if it wasn't a mammal. Happy Holidays and good birding to all! Walden & Sawhill Ponds:
