Hi everyone! After working all week and reading all of the posts regarding the many = migrants moving in, the rain wasn't going to stop me today! Despite the = crummy weather, the birds were out! A walk at River Bend Nature Center = produced golden-crowned kinglets, fox sparrow, eastern phoebe, hermit = thrush, swamp sparrow, and many brown creepers. I left River Bend to = check out Alexander Park, Wells Lake, and wherever else I could find = things happening. Alexander Park had a single horned grebe. Wells Lake = produced a sandhill crane and 2 great egrets. In a flooded farm field, I = found my 1st blue-winged teal of the year, and at Twin Lakes, near a = patch of open water, there were two belted kingfishers. In all, 67 = species were seen today, of those, 23 were waterfowl species.=20 Good birding!
