John Dever, Lisa Flores and I walked (and waded) the Brainerd Levee
behind Boyd Buchanan on Sunday November 4. There was a lot of bird
activity, more than on the TOS fieldtrip on October 28. The highlights
included:
- 1 Lincoln's Sparrow
- 6 Vesper Sparrow (my high count ever for the levee)
- Swamp Sparrows
- Savannah Sparrows
- White-throated Sparrows
- 3 Rusty Blackbirds (first for season)
- 2 American Pipits
- 1 Common Yellowthroat (first November record for levee)
- 1 Palm Warbler
- 1 Wilson's Snipe
- 2 Northern Pintail
- 2 Northern Shoveler
- 52 Gadwall
- 12 Green-winged Teal
- 2 Hooded Merganser
