We had another amazing 47 specie weekend here.  We counted 7 sparrow
species, including FOS White-throated, both Kinglets, including FOS
Golden-crowned, 5 Woodpeckers, including a Hairy and a lovely male YB
Sapsucker and 2 Warblers.  We counted the first Grackle since August and the
first Waxwings.since I don't know when.  Suddenly Crows are all around,
after being absent since spring.  I lost count ~30 in one flock yesterday.
Also, Killdeer are suddenly plentiful, with a flyover flock of ~15 this
afternoon.  I posted a digiscoped photo of the Shrike, taken just as the fog
was clearing this morning
(http://www.flickr.com/photos/91780057@N05/10659638576/).  It was a great
weekend overall, but one certain highlight happened today, about 45 minutes
before sunset.  I was sitting near the thicket, quietly watching sparrows
when a covey of Bobwhites flew in and landed pretty much all round me.  I
couldn't count them, but estimate that there were at least 10.  As soon as
they landed, they started calling and talking among themselves.  It was fun
to be close enough to hear that.
