Sparrows, sparrows, sparrows!!! Amazing the numbers of Juncos & White-throateds. Almost everywhere we walked, these 2 sps were the most numerous.
Other sps of sparrows were: Field, Song, Swamp, House, Chipping.
But raptors were winers today. Two Merlin seen perched on the Nethermead meadow. Also Red-shouldered, Red-tailed, Sharp-shinned. And a first for me in the Park, and adult Bald Eagle flew over Lookout Hill/Butterfly Meadow.
And only 1 sps of Warblers: Myrtle (Yellow-rumped).
