Fall warblers

 Nice to be at the Park this morning - still, sunny becoming more overcast, good company - Suzette, Mary Lou, Bill - and some nice fall birds. List at  https://ebird.org/checklist/S119407459

Here are some photos -  one of three cooperative Lincoln's Sparrows -

this not so cooperative Nashville Warbler in the Upper Garden -

this flighty Myrtle Warbler that reminded me that they have white in the tail -

and this, one of quite a few Blackpoll Warblers, was one of serveral in a nice mixed flock at the soccer circle, featuring also Red-eyed and Blue-headed Vireo, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Northern Parula, Black-throated Green and Magnolia Warblers -

Spiza americana

 7:00 AM is a good time to be at the park. This beautiful Dickcissel was teed up at the copse between the Winchester St lot and the lower garden, performing the first syllable of its name:

September surprises

Birding in Nahanton Park last September was spectacular, so I am trying to get over there often this September. Here are a few photos from today. It was great to see Suzette there, who also saw the Bunting. She also found some other good birds. For me the bird of the day was this Mourning Warbler in the Upper Garden. Field marks: no wingbars; altogether yellow underparts, pink legs, grey chest, broken eyering, yellowish mark above a dark lore. 

Here's that scruffy Indigo Bunting, also in the Upper Garden.
