After a night out I went to the Mash this Sunday morning with only a couple of hours sleep in my bag so God only knows how many Tropical Kingbirds were around without getting noticed. Waterfowl is slowly arriving in good numbers although the low water levels surely do not help. Green-winged Teal, Mallard and Black Duck were on the large pond (puddle). Early on I picked up a female Purple Finch and shortly later the first of three
White-crowned Sparrows. Bald Eagles are regularly seen over the maintenance yard this fall, let's hope they will stay to nest nearby this winter/spring. I only caught a short glimpse of what I am 90% sure was a
Orange-crowned Warbler. Unfortunately the bird was on the other side of the fence so I was forced to stay at a distance, but the sharp bill and overall drab appearance of the bird would be in favor of OCW.
Year: 122 or 84%
Total: 146
