spent the last few days birding San Jacinto park and found a few interestng
birds
Red Breasted Nuthatches, Golden Crowned Kinglets, Ruby Crowned Kinglets are
numerous
no Red Naped Sapsucker but plenty of Yellow Bellied Sapsuckers
a Downy Woodpecker with severely deformed bill which has not affected it's
ablity to tap a tree
at least 2 Vermilion Flycatchers and I was informed there are 3
at one point I was surrounded by Hermit Thrushes and counted at least 4 and
there was probably more
for two days there was a 5 bird flock of Black Throated Green Warblers
traveling with Pine Warblers, Ruby Crowned Kinglets, an occasional Catbird,
and a House Wren
one day there were Red Breasted Nuthatches, Golden Crowned and Ruby Crowned
Kinglets, Brown Creepers, Pine Warblers, Downy Woodpecker, Yellow Bellied
Sapsucker, Black Throated Green Warbler, House Wren in a single tree at the
same time
yesterday I ID;d a bird I had previously seen but couldn't ID. I heard the
call so was alerted and within a few minutes a Great Kiskadee showed up. I
missed the photo op but I believe the bird has been in the park for a few
days now.
This morning I found 2 Mourning Warblers. One was definitely first fall.

Ruddy Ducks have dominated the "ponds" (one day I counted 175) with some
Blue Winged Teals, Lesser Scaup, a Redhead, and a Green Winged Teal.
