Late this afternoon (28 Sept) between showers at the Freese Road community weed patch I found:
TURKEY VULTURE - 4 distant RED-TAILED HAWK - 2 distant, 1 close KILLDEER - 1 heard distantly, possibly over fields across Fall Creek to the east MOURNING DOVE - 1 flushed from gardens RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER - 1 heard DOWNY WOODPECKER - 1 flew from gardens to enclosure to north BLUE JAY - several overhead and in trees to east AMERICAN CROW - ditto and in distance WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCH - 1 heard from trees to east AMERICAN ROBIN - 1 flying east fairly high EUROPEAN STARLING - several hundred flew over CHIPPING SPARROW - 1 breeding plumage in south half, 1 non-breeding in north half FIELD SPARROW - 1 at southeast corner SAVANNAH SPARROW - at least 6 in north-central area SONG SPARROW - lots & various LINCOLN'S SPARROW - 1 in north-central then (same?) at northeast area of gardens. I think the differences I saw among several views were from changes in posture, angle and lighting. SWAMP SPARROW - 1 at north edge, 1 by northeast edge WHITE-THROATED SPARROW - 1 by northeast edge INDIGO BUNTING - at least 3, maybe more; also heard some song AMERICAN GOLDFINCH - lots --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES Archives: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
