Great morning with several first-of-fall species this morning. A few warblers, but sparrows and kinglets ruled the day. Seen were: Canada goose mallard blue-winged teal northern shoveler pied-billed grebe great blue heron turkey vulture Cooper’s hawk American coot killdeer Wilson’s snipe ring-billed gull mourning dove chimney swift belted kingfisher red-bellied woodpecker downy woodpecker northern flicker eastern phoebe Philadelphia vireo blue jay American crow northern rough-winged swallow tree swallow bank swallow barn swallow (several swallow sp., too high for me to ID) Carolina chickadee tufted titmouse white-breasted nuthatch Carolina wren golden-crowned kinglet ruby-crowned kinglet American robin gray catbird European starling cedar waxwing Tennessee warbler Nashville warbler common yellowthroat magnolia warbler yellow-rumped warbler eastern towhee chipping sparrow song sparrow Lincoln’s sparrow swamp sparrow white-throated sparrow northern cardinal red-winged blackbird American goldfinch house sparrow It was cool and breezy early, but after the sun began to warm things up, the birds were hopping. Then, it clouded over and was time to come home. I could have stayed out all day!
