It was nice to get at least 1 cooler day! Had 2 FOS/unusual species for us. Started the day with a Red-eyed Vireo. Then, mixed in with our apparently never-ending supply of Chipping Sparrows, we found a Field Sparrow. A new in-the-hand bird for me! Here's the rundown of today's 41 new birds (we also had 9 recaps from recent days):
Red-eyed Vireo 1 (FOS) Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 4 Common Yellowthroat 1 Wilson's Warbler 1 Chipping Sparrow 28 (had our 300th CHSP today) Clay-colored Sparrow 1 Field Sparrow 1 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 White-crowned Sparrow (Gambel's) 1 Pink-sided Junco 1 Open 6 days per week, weather permitting, through Oct 16. Next closed day is Friday, Oct 7.
