I birded from 7-10:00am at the UW Arboretum.
It was another gorgeous, warm day for October!

Special sightings of the day:

    There were American Robins all over the place.  I don't think I've ever 
seen so many in one spot.

    I saw 1 Pileated Woodpecker.  I have not seen any since last spring but 
know a pair has been in the arboretum for at least 4-5 years, maybe more.

    The most common sparrows were the White-throated and White-crowned 
Sparrows, but I really think the 2 Lincoln Sparrows I saw won the beauty 
contest.

    The only warblers I saw were Palm and Yellow-rumped Warblers.

    There were lots of Wild Turkeys out on Longenecker Garden with 2 males in 
full feather display. 

My eBird report is appended below.

Good birding to all and enjoy these special fall days!  You know what comes 
next.
