For you sparrow folks the Point was active this afternoon. Besides the landfill only a portion of which I walked, other productive areas by were grass by (never used) swimming pool, the grassy knoll (b/w the gazebo and the road to the nature center) and the "low" road w the wine cellars: sparrows identified included vesper (perhaps 2) on landfill second path on right starting from the top), many Savannah, imm. white crowned, lincoln's, swamp (4), chipping (2), field (1), song, white throated, junco, towhee (1), also of note Amer. Pipit (2) at swimming beach on sand at water's edge which I only noticed driving out b/c I saw several killdeer there (6), n. harrier (3), kestrel (2), adult peregrine, osprey, good sized waxwing flock -- the Point does not disappoint
