Hi there,
this morning, Ben Van Allen and I did the usual circuit around Rice. Our
weed lot from last year unfortunately has been reduced to a very narrow
strip (~10 ft wide) along a short fence (~150 ft long), but it still
produced some birds (this is at the SE corner of Wilton and Rice; or the NW
corner of O'Connor field).. At dawn, we had Scissor-tailed Flycatchers
circling the soccer field, lots of Yellow-rumped Warblers, 1 Indigo Bunting
and 1 Dickcissel flying over, and in the weeds, there was a Marsh Wren, 1
Lincoln's Sparrow, 1 Hermit Thrush, 3 Red-winged Blackbirds, 1 Eastern
Phoebe, 1 Blue Grosbeak and 2 Nashville Warblers (the 2 Nashvilles were
seen at 930 am). Hiding underneath the bleachers were half a dozen
Savannah Sparrows. Then in the prairie lot by the medical center, we had 1
Vesper Sparrow. At the hummingbird/butterfly garden by Huff House near the
front entrance of campus, the Broad-tailed Hummingbird from yesterday was
still present.
