Hi all, Thought it was worth mentioning that Kissena Park was very birdy this morning. Birds were everywhere and the common invasives were low in numbers. I didn't even see any house sparrows!
Highlights included 11 Warbler species with 1 Nashville Warbler and 1 Wilson's Warbler, Several BT-Blues and the yellow-rumps were out in force. Blue-headed and Red-eyed vireos were still around. Found 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch, WB Nuthatches. Brown Creeper and two Brown Thrashers too. There were several groups of Purple Finches, many Samp & Savannah Sparrows, a few of Chipping Sparrows, 1 Field Sparrow, 1 White-crowned Sparrow, and 1 Lincoln's Sparrow, also 1 Indigo. In total I saw 58 species in two hours 40 minutes, and this did not include Kissena Corridor.
