This morning at Wood Lake in Richfield Leslie and I enjoyed our first Brown Creepers of the Fall. We also got good looks at a Philadelphia Vireo out in the sunshine chomping down a dragonfly. There were still Tennessee, Orange-crowned, Nashville, Palm, Ovenbird, Common Yellowthroat, and Yellow-rumped Warblers.
There were 6 Swainson's Thrush and 2 Hermit Thrush's, and Robins. An Eastern Towhee, 1 Catbird, 1 Northern Flicker, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Dark-eyed Junco's, Swamp, Song, Lincoln's, White-throated, and many Fox Sparrows, some even trying to sing! The American Wigeon's have increased, and a flock of 10 Hooded Mergansers has been there for a few days. Conny Brunell Richfield, Hennepin Cty [email protected]
