The EARED GREBE and 2 BARN SWALLOWS remain at the river access. Also there today, 1 Laughing Gull, 2 Bonaparte's Gulls, 1 Eurasian Tree Sparrow and 3 Yellow-Rumped Warblers.
At my feeders, next to Fairmount Cemetery, I had about 35 Pine Siskins today, the most I've seen since they arrived several weeks ago, 1 Fox Sparrow on my feeding platform, and continue to have 2 or more Red-breasted Nuthatches.
