Sunday morning I went to Sharoan Woods Metro Park. The highlights of the day were white-eyed vireo, red-winged blackbird, and hermit thrush. I thought it was late in the year for the first two species and that was the first hermit thrush I've seen since spring. Other species observed were: Canada Goose Mallard Red-Bellied Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Downy Woodpecker Northern Flicker American Crow Blue Jay (one of the most numerous species there) Carolina Chickadee Tufted Titmouse White-Breasted Nuthatch Carolina Wren American Robin Swainson's Thrush Northern Mockingbird Cedar Waxwing Northern Cardinal White-Throated Sparrow (one of the most numerous species there) White-Crowned Sparrow (one of the most numerous species there) Song Sparrow Common Grackle (it seems late for this species too) American Goldfinch House Finch House Sparrow Interestingly enough, I didn't see a single starling.
