We birded this morning in Ramosch — a small village in the eastern tip of Switzerland.<\/p>\n

We finally saw a flock of Tree Sparrows (Red cap, black cheek, white collar, small bib).<\/p>\n

We also picked up Common Sandpiper and Gray Wagtail — though no photos of either.<\/p>\n

We also saw a male Whinchat.<\/p>\n

We then headed through Austria back to northeast Switzerland. We went this way to avoid going over the mountains. Instead we went under them — through four 4-mile tunnels and one 8.6-mile tunnel (and many shorter ones)!<\/p>\n

We are spending tonight in St Gallen. Tomorrow morning, we will bird the areas that we did in mid-afternoon on our day of arrival. Then on to the airport and home.<\/p>\n

We expect to arrive home around 11:30 pm tomorrow. I have a bunch of Bird Screen orders to fill, PSO duties, and PAMC stuff to attend to before I will finish up the trip blog.<\/p>\n

I will be adding a large section of non-birding stuff — from hotels to habitat descriptions, etc. So tune in again in a few days.<\/p>\n

The trip list is 97 with 76 lifers.<\/p>\n

Only a few photos today.<\/p>\n
