I spent 3 hours in the park this morning with fairly good success. Lots of Slate-colored Juncoes (100+), White-throated Sparrows (7); White-crowned Sparrow (3); Fox Sparrow (1). At total of 13 Hermit Thrushes were in the 'bowl' and the shrubby area east of the sports field where I also found good numbers of other birds: 3 Eastern Towhee; 2 Palm Warbler and 1 Black-and-White Warbler. My total there for Yellow-rumped Warbler was 17. There are still fairly large numbers of Red-necked Grebe (100+) and Horned Grebe (9) plus 4 Common Loons very close to shore. Ruby-crowned Kinglets out-numbered Golden-crowned (22 to 3).
Directions: the park is located south Lakeshore off the end of KIpling Avenue.
