Just saw a hermit's thrush on Bassett Creek in Minneapolis, on the part of the creek that's between Bassett's Creek Park (dog park to the north) and Bassett's Creek Playground, which abuts W. Chestnut Ave. First ever in Hennepin Co. for me (we moved her last August).
wood ducks - saw about eight on the creek yesterday (4/14), but they were gone today (4/15) hooded mergansers - a pair there yesterday and today mallards - about 60 both yesterday and today Canada geese - about 15 both yesterday and today American robins - saw three in the trees on the north side of the creek At neighbor's feeder (Bryn Mawr neighborhood) dark-eyed juncos - slaty subspecies, at least 40 American goldfinches - around 20 house finches - about eight house sparrows - two mourning doves - two; hadn't seen these before at the feeder. They had also been turning up at the creek. Any possibility of a purple finch? Hoping it was, but think it was just a really bright red house finch.
