Good Forsythe NWR Birds

Birders heading up to Edwin B. Forsythe NWR have regularly been getting great looks at some fancy wintering raptors, including Rough-legged Hawks and at least one Golden Eagle. Also at Forsythe of late have been Tundra Swans, Common Mergansers, Eastern Meadowlarks, and "Ipswich" Savannah Sparrow.
