Unfortunately it turned out to be a crappy day with rain or drizzle the whole time I was there, so birding was limited.

I am doing a lot of traveling and need to be taken off at this time. Thank you, Miriam Smith46_17Oct200616:40: [log in to unmask] |

Sunday afternoon Linda and I couldn't waste the nice weather so we headed to
the preserve to walk around Hoover Meadows and then we checked the mudflats
at Wiese Road.
Hoover Meadows was a haven for sparrows. We located Chipping, Field,
Savannah, Song, Lincoln’s, Swamp, White-throated and White-crowned. We also spotted
our first Dark-eyed Junco’s of the fall. Yellow-rumped Warblers were
everywhere we looked and we found one Palm Warbler. A few Rusty Blackbirds were
intermixed with the Common Grackles and the immature Red-headed Woodpecker was
still back at the dead trees at the third pond.
At Wiese Road an adult Bald Eagle did a great fly-over. He turned into the
wind and seemed to just hang there right over us. The old road had many
Yellow-rumped Warblers and both Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned Kinglets.
Shorebirds along the west shore included Greater Yellowlegs, Killdeer and Semipalmted
Sandpipers. There were many more shorebirds on a sand spit towards the
boardwalk. With the spotting scope we identified but did not count, Killdeer,
Greater Yellowlegs, Lesser Yellowlegs, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Western Sandpiper,
Least Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper, Dunlin and Long-billed Dowitcher.
There were also a few Common Terns.
