Another wonderful walk around the park. Despite we are officially in the Fall, and most of the sps migrants have reached their wintering grounds, there are a lot of good sightings. And this report is a proof of it. With 10 sps of Warblers, the family Parulidae is still the "top of pops" of the migrants sps. Other notables were: Rose-breasted Grosbea, Blue-headed & Red-eyed Vireos, Swainson's Thrush. And perhaps the rarest one, was a single Spotted Sandpiper see across the "Pink Beach". And my FOS, 3 Chipping Sparrows.
