Bird life was nothing less of abundant at Cortlawn Pond today, particularly within the area just to the west of the "triangle." Highlights:
-7 Warbler species (no orange-crowned.) Late birds included a redstart, a magnolia, and a black-and-white. In one mature tree, est. 50+ yellow-rumped's (but way too hard to count accurately). -First fall G-C Kinglets and Brown Creeper -A young y-b sapsucker -Many Hermit Thrushes, and a Swainson's or two -Adult B-H Vireo -Many, many W-T Sparrows -All Wood duck drakes in breeding plumage(!) No better way to start October! Good birding~ Alyssa DeRubeis Golden Valley, Hennepin Co. tiger150 at comcast.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
