?I stopped by East Shore Park after a meeting today, just around sunset. There were tons of sparrows around the maintenance shed at the NE corner of the park. I'd estimate 300 Dark-eyed Juncos, 150 Song Sparrows, 30 Swamp Sparrows and 20 White-throated Sparrows. Certainly worth looking that flock over more closely. Also present were ~100 American Robins and 2 Hermit Thrushes. An American Woodcock flushed from the bushes behind the maintenance area.
