The morning was beautiful and the birding was about as slow as it has ever been with absolutely nothing notable! In fact the bird of the day was mammal. I had the opportunity to watch a Red Fox foraging through the brush of the old pond bed for about 10 minutes before being scared away by a couple of joggers with their (off leash) dogs.
