It was a fabulous morning in Lake Park today. Highlights included 19
Sanderlings, a flock of 10 American Pipits on the field by the old running
track, a Gray-Cheeked Thrush, Ovenbird, Golden-Winged, Black-Throated Blue,
and Myrtle Warblers, at least three (and possibly four or five) Winter
Wrens, and a nice selection of sparrows: White-Throated (many),
White-Crowned, Harris's, Lincoln's, and Savannah.
I just spent a week in Oklahoma, mostly visiting in-laws, but I did squeeze
some birding in. I got one lifer - Mississippi Kite - plus had several
other nice finds: Summer Tanager, Black Vulture, Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher,
Snowy Egret, White-Eyed Vireo, Bewick's Wren, Least Tern, and three species
that were apparently good finds for the area (according to eBird): Herring
Gull, Common Tern, and MacGillivray's Warbler. I had 61 species total,
which isn't bad for a trip that wasn't built around birding!
