[EBB Sightings] Hang-gliding Sora, two trikes in Springtown 3/19

Hi Everyone--

I spent an hour or so along Altamont Creek in Springtown today 3/19 not
seeing the Swamp Sparrow, but in the process I had the unique privilege of
watching a SORA trying to fly into a strong headwind and hanging motionless,
albeit briefly. I also saw two male TRICOLORED BLACKBIRDS fly past me,
headed southwest. Eight BARN SWALLOWS in a flock were a sign of spring.
