Oct 17 Field Trip Report

More Yellow-rumped Warblers than you have probably ever seen in a whole year, and also some very good birds seen very well, like Swamp Sparrow, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, American Kestrel, Horned Grebe, Northern Shovellar and Belted Kingfisher.

Weather today was amazing, and fall colors were peaking. Plus I know from overheard discussions, that the social aspect of OLLI was also being fulfilled.

Sparrows? They were not evident in any numbers yet, but we will keep tracking them. Our next field trip is to Gordon's Pond. The trail there goes through a maritime forrest, and the pond usually holds good shorebirds and waterfowl.

Sally and I look forward to good birding with you next Wed.
