Today, Daryl Owens and I birded around my property then the Mountain Top Golf
Course here on the mountain. We found 33 species. The day started with Daryl
seeing an American Kestrel sitting on the peak of the neighbor's barn. Daryl
later got a life bird at the golf course when a late migrating Orange-crowned
Warbler was found feeding among some goldenrod. We also found a late female
Cape May Warbler and both Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned Kinglets. We also saw
one adult White-crowned Sparrow, one Dark-eyed Junco and a couple of
White-throated Sparrows.
We had 6 woodpecker species - Red-bellied, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Downy,
Hairy, Northern Flicker and Pileated.
