In case you are paying attention and think I did this yesterday, you are correct, mostly. Today I walked the waterfowl rest are section of Bell Slough and then went to TRP hoping to get the Clay-colored Sparrow. Still now new life bird but I’ve certainly gotten plenty of first-of-seasons this weekend. At Bell Slough, I walked the perimeter of the waterfowl rest area which took about 2 hours. At TRP, I made a loop through the grassy area to the north of the trail and to the horse trail area taking about 90 minutes to do so.
