Clove Lakes Park
A very cooperative Swainson's Thrush was observed in of Clove Lakes Park
close to Royal Oaks Road on a jogging trail that leads to Victory Boulevard.
The bird was seen at close range and remained in the area for a while.
It appeared there was some light molt on the head and nape. The larger
buff and obvious eye rings were fresh. This is by far the earliest fall
record for me in the borough or city. My early record of 29 August in JBWR had
been the earliest autumn date.
A female Orchard Oriole, American Redstarts, 1 Magnolia Warbler and 5
Yellow Warblers were also present
