Hi everyone!
Well, since I couldn't be in Duluth this weekend like I had planned =
(best of luck to the birders up there now. I will live vicariously =
through you!), I decided to make the best of my weekend here at home. I =
birded River Bend Nature Center this morning, first looking for Nelson's =
sharp-tailed sparrows (no luck), and then walking along the river seeing =
what I could turn up. There were a few surprises in the form of late =
fall migrants. Some highlights included:
blue-gray gnatcatcher
eastern wood pewee
Philadelphia vireo
red-eyed vireo
Wilson's warbler
magnolia warbler
black and white warbler
Arriving to the parking lot after my walk, I noticed there was a very =
light breeze blowing in from the north. I figured this might make good =
hawk watching weather. I wasn't disappointed as I had 159 broad-winged =
hawks, 7 sharp-shinned hawks, 1 Cooper's hawk, and 1 osprey within a =
span of two hours.
I'm still bummed at not being able to make Duluth, but I was still =
able to scratch my birding itch a little bit!
Good birding,
