Benedict Park, where many enjoyed the nesting Sedge Wren and
Grasshopper Sparrows this summer, is also a great fall birding spot. The Edgar
A. Mearns Bird Club held it's annual Fall sparrow field trip there yesterday
and spied the following;
Song Sparrow
Savannah Sparrow
White-throated Sparrow
White-crowned Sparrow (many!)
Swamp Sparrow
Lincoln's Sparrow (3)
Vesper Sparrow (1)
Field Sparrow
Chipping Sparrow
Junco
We were also treated by a passing Peregrine. In the past, this his been the
most reliable place in Orange for Vesper and Lincolns and has produced
Grasshopper, Fox and Clay-colored as well. If you come for the sparrow's,
don't miss the fields past the main parking lot and over the hill, where paths
have been mowed through the fields, just for us.
Good Birding,
Curt McDermott
