Hi Peter,
     
A beautiful Fall day, with great weather. Unfortunately most of the birds seem to have decided that they'd rather be in the tropics....so they missed a great time in the park.
Although all was very quiet, we did have some highlights including a fairly cooperative Winter Wren, a striking Blue-headed Vireo, a brilliant male Black-throated Blue Warbler, a few raptors, Swainson's, Hermit and Gray-cheeked Thrush, and a peaceful Green-winged Teal near that crazy white-tufted Wood Duck.
All in all 53 species including a few warblers.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
