I birded Kissena Park all day, just wrapping up my second stint at the area known as "Kissena Corridor."
A lot of activity this morning in the corridor that included a lot of House Finches on the move. Yellow-bellied Sapsucker remain in good numbers and the number of Ruby-crowned Kinglets were still quite good. Over at Kissena "proper" in addition to the immature Red-headed Woodpecker, the other highlights included Red-eyed and Blue-headed Vireo, Brown Thrasher, several Hermit Thrushes and a female Scarlet Tanager. On my second pass at the Corridor, I had an Orange-Crowned Warbler which is very likely the bird I found on Wednesday. I heard it chipping and spotted it in a patch of Mugwort on the right most path of the triangle if facing west. If you came in from the direction of the artificial soccer field (which would be behind you), take the wood chip path on your right, as if you were heading towards the community garden. About half way in, look on your right for a patch of Sun Flowers. The bird was in that area. I hope this helps. Still awaiting the Sparrow build up!
