Yesterday I got a few decent birds at Silver Creek MP. Highlights: Many, many golden crowned kinglets Numerous red breasted nuthatches in the pine wood between Pheasant Run trail and the equestrian trail. In fact, red breasted nuthatches I saw this day outnumbered white breasted 2-1! How often does that happen? One flew down right in front of me to cache a seed in the tree bark then spooked when he saw me. If they are caching seeds does that mean they will stick around all winter? One Lincoln's sparrow Only a few warblers, mostly yellow rumped with one I thought was a bay breasted (fall warblers never seem to match any of the pictures in the book!) downy, hairy, red bellied and flicker woodpeckers - was expecting a sapsucker because this is an excellent site for them, but didn't see any. Was unsuccessful with purple finch as well. Strafed by a cooper's while watching a mixed flock - zoomed right past my head! I didn't make it over to the lake or marshy areas as my time was limited.
