A quick mid-afternoon walk around the northern end of Southwest Area  Park 
produced a beautiful rooster RING-NECKED PHEASANT that flushed from the  
phragmites and flew across the road into the upper field. Each year I  wonder how 
long we'll continue to find them here. Otherwise it was not very  birdy -- 3 
KILLDEER in the turnabout area, 2 WILSON'S SNIPE (easy to find in the  wet fields 
in early spring), one singing AMERICAN TREE SPARROW and a dozen or so  SONG 
SPARROWS. Sparrows have been very hard to find this winter at  SWAP. I wasn't 
able to stay for the American Woodcock display at dusk, but it  should have been 
a good evening for them.
