Holy schmokes, Tim, that's a pile of Swamp Sparrows!
Fun to hear about that many in one patch. I've only found one so far on
E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area, but there have been a couple of other local
reports of singles.
I've also missed the Mountain Chickadee wave so far, even though every
odd-sounding Black-capped gets the adrenaline going. Some other Benton
Co. birders and I heard one of those at Luckiamute Landing the other
day, but we tracked it down and it looked like a regular Black-capped,
just a bit hoarse.
Hard to believe it's November with this balmy weather. We had a large
dragonfly (don't ask me which species or even genus, but it was one of
the big ones) go through our yard today.
Happy birding,
Joel
