When things are slow at Pike Lake it pays to head east to Lion's Den.  Pike
is, however, starting to get some waterfowl in the form of a huge coot raft.

Lion's Den this morning was slow in many ways.  Only 4 warblers and for the
first time in a while, not a peep from a single Catharus thrush.  What was
around though was a whole lot of kinglets, with rubies outnumbering GCs by
5:1.  Also the most brown creepers I've ever seen!  Some trunks had 5
clamoring around at once.  A rough estimate would be ~30.  Also the usual
fall sparrows and juncos.  First rusty blackbirds (3) showed up as well.
