February 23 & 24, 2008 : Feb 23--
After work went to Winsegansett.  Most exciting thing was small flock of Horned Larks and 64 Titleist golf balls all over the shore.  I picked them all up.
At Town Beach there was a bunch of Ruddy Turnstones
Feb 24--
Early went to Long Road.  Sun was shining and water flowed in little stream attracting Robins and a small group of 6 Rusty Blackbirds. The blackbirds flew into a tree and started a concert.  They all were males.  I loaded a crummy video so you could hear them sing.

February 17, 2008 : Did my SEANET survey at Winsegansett.  Best thing was a flock of Snow Buntings.  They were snoozing and sunning amid pebbles at first.  Then they flew to the sand to eat.
Then went to the State part of West Island.  Hardly any birds, but found a dead Herring Gull to measure and report.

Feb 18 - saw a Canada Goose with variant plumage...white forehead.  Rainy. Saw pair of flirting RT Hawks at Weeden Rd.  At YMCA camp saw 7 pairs of Hoodies, a scaup, RB Mergs, Buffleheads, GB Heron, Cedar Waxwings, YR Warblers
