Jan and I spent the afternoon with Tony on the Smith Point Tower watching a
beautiful show of migrants today. Lots of Broad-winged Hawks and I got to
see 16 of the Dark morph birds. Considering I had never seen one until last
Sunday down there that was pretty neat. I think that makes my life total
around 22 now. Lots of Am White Pelicans to spice up the day as well. We
also saw our first Bald Eagle of the fall and one White-tailed hawk.
After 4 PM when Tony closed up shop we ran down to Robbin's Park and found
the Nelson's Sparrows that have been seen down there lately. They are still
hanging out around the ditch just before entering the park. We saw at
least 10 and I think that number was way low.
Pictures from today.
