We went birding this morning at Tom Sawyer State Park. We found seven
species of warblers and 7 species of sparrows.
Tennessee Warblers were quite numerous feeding in the tall grasses and golden
rod.
There a were a few orange-crowned warblers in with the Tennessees.
Yellow-rumpeds have arrived in number. One Cape May was a nice find. Also
seen were a common yellowthroat, magnolia, and black-thr. green.
Sparrows: Beautiful looks at several Lincoln sparrows; white- throated;
white-crowned; field; song; swamp; and chipping.
This afternoon in the wooded area behind our home we discovered a new arrival
-- a hermit thrush our first for this season. A winter wren was observed up
close and personal. What a neat bird! Three yellow-bellied sapsuckers were
also sighted.
It was a nice day for fall birding, but that wind did have a little bite to
it.
Enjoy the great outdoors,
Pat and Jane Bell
