getting cut off. My computer expertise is not good enough for me to figure out 
what is wrong yet. Hopefully anything of interest will get to everyone. 
    Yesterday evening from 6:30 PM until 7:30 I birded at The Honors Golf 
Course. It turned out to be great timing. During that hour I saw 35 species. 
Tops for me was a male Magnolia Warbler feeding on insects on a dead tree. The 
lack of leaves enabled me to get a much better view than normal. Wondering if a 
Magnolia would respond to the playing of it's song (and particularly interested 
if it would respond since the breeding season was over), I played a recording 
of a Magnolia. It most definitely did respond.

    Other than common birds, I also saw several Wild Turkey (including some 
half grown and some only 1/4 grown)
a Black & White Warbler (in same area near Magnolia Warbler), a Northern 
Waterthrush and Blue Grosbeaks (female with 2 immatures). I had been seeing 
male and female Blue Grosbeaks all summer but that was the first time I had 
seen immatures.

Other bird species included:

Mallard
Great Blue Herron
Green Herron (adults and immatures)
Killdeer (eating insects in fairways)
Morning Dove
Chimney Swift
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Downy Woodpecker
Eastern Phoebe
Eastern Kingbird
Blue Jay
Carolina Chickadee
Tufted Titmouse
White-breasted Nuthatch
Carolina Wren
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Eastern Bluebird
American Robin
Northern Mockingbird
Pine Warbler (also eating insects in fairways)
Scarlet Tanager
Eastern Towhee
Field Sparrow
Song Sparrow
Northern Cardinal
Red-winged Blackbird
Common Grackle
House Finch
American Goldfinch
