Fall warmup

I spent time at the park on both mornings this weekend. A high point was a nice mixed flock at the warm back of the upper garden on Saturday: Red-eyed and Blue-headed Vireo, Red- and White-breasted Nuthatch, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Northern Parula, and Blackpoll Warbler, accompanied by Chickadees and Titmouses. 





The upper garden was again the place to be on Sunday: Lincoln's Sparrow!



Late report: Last Saturday there appeared on the soccer field an enormous flock of Brown-headed Cowbirds: 370 by my count! Marylou, David, and Ian were also witnesses. Here's a little segment of the flock.
