Good Morning, Yesterday, Oct. 9/18 Bob Tyler and I walked our usual route - Hanlan's Point to Gibralter Point and following are some of our finds.
Hooded Mergansers, Sharp-shined, Cooper's and Red-tailed Hawks, A. Kestrel, Peregrine Falcon, Y-b Sapsuckers, Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, Flickers, both Nuthatches, House Wren, both Kinglets, Swainson's and Hermit Thrushes, Catbird, Blue-headed Vireos, Tennessee, Orange-crowned (3), Nashville (8), Yellow-rumped (many), Palm, Bay-breasted, Blackpoll and Connecticut (female) Warblers, E. Towhees, Clay-colored (5), Savannah, Song, Swamp (13), White-throated (100), and White-crowned (16) Sparrows and Dark-eyed Juncos. Note:- The Connecticut Warbler - This almost ties the date of my latest sighting of a male of this species with the one seen by Ian Cannell and myself that was found Gavin Platt on October 10, 2014 and the 5 Clay-colored Sparrow ties the number seen by myself and others at 5 on October 4, 2008 in almost the same place. Bob and I feel that there were more than 5 of these birds but they were moving along and entered heavier cover and hard to be sure if there were more than 5.
