The temperature was 11 C, the winds were 30 to 50 K; it was raining and the forecast said the rain would end in the late afternoon.  The question facing the Bruce Birding Club members was to go or not to go birding that day. The decision was to shorten the day and go only after the target birds which were know to be in the area and if anything else that happened to show up, that would be a bonus.  The birds they were seeking were Dickcissel, Blue-winged Warbler, Upland Sandpiper and Clay-cloured and Grasshopper Sparrows and Willow Flycatcher, all know to be in the area.  In the end, 45 species of  birds were seen.
