WOW! Dave,
Excellent Find and a first for the county. Jerry Thornhill will really have
to have a whole flock of unusual Rock Pigeons in his yard to beat you out
for Birder of the Month for September :)
Congratulations!

While doing some front-porch birding during the drizzle & fog yesterday, I
was amazed to find a LeConte's Sparrow @ the edge of a weedy field in the
creek bottom. This bird "a lifer for me",was very pleasing as it flew to
perch on a bowing weed at the edge of a grassy opening & stayed there for
several minutes showing me all the field marks. What a gift! Lots of other
birds were observed around the place w/the Giant Ragweed & Wingstem busy
w/Tenn. Warblers, a House Wren, Palm Warblers a Blackpoll & Common
Yellowthroat. Cedar Waxwings, Scarlet Tanagers and Rose-br Grosbeaks were
easily found in the Cherry trees in the old fence rows. Catbirds, Brown
Thrashers & one Mockingbird munched on Pokeberry & Dogwood berries While a
FOS Swamp Sparrow was found in the garden. ANYWAY A LE CONTE"S WOW
