I birded Robert Moses S.P. for a couple of hours this morning, where I met up with Dave Klauber. Thankfully the wind died and things warmed up a bit. Not a whole lot of birds but a highlight was my first Fall Clay-colored Sparrow. It was found in the scrub area west of the picnic tables at Field 2. Two Palm Warblers were also noted in the vicinity. Dave reports a Blue-grey Gnatcatcher earlier this morning.
Lots of low flying raptors are undoubtedly keeping the songbirds hidden within the dense trees and shrubs.
