I got out to Pleasant Creek lake again at lunch time today. I saw the 2 Red-breasted that Bill mentioned yesterday (Merganser and Nuthatch). THere were a fair number of bothe Eared and Horned Grebes. There were Buffleheads that eBird makes me verify.
At the Beach area, in the center 'island' of the loop the road makes, among the Yellow-rumped and Palm Warblers, I had a Blackpoll Warbler and a Pine Warbler. Both of those are FOY for me. As a side note, I had a Swainson's Thrush in the parking lot of our office building for the second day in a row this morning. It has been at the edge of paved area in the northwest corner of the the Transamerica Edgewood Road lot in Cedar Rapids between 9 and 10 o'clock. --- Please contribute your sightings to our list; it is only as good as members make it! --- Birding channel recommendation for FRS/GMRS radio use: Primary selection; channel 5/0 , alternate selection; channel 6/0 --- This mailing list is sponsored by the Iowa Ornithologists' Union.
