Patterson Park still great this morning. Drier, but colder, I suppose.
Great numbers of of Black-throated Blues (including one at about 2 ft
range!), Creepers, Kinglets (both), Sapsuckers, Winter Wrens. I saw 40+
species in a couple of hours 7-9.
A selection:
Hermit Thrush, Robin
Nashville, BTB, BTGreen, MAgnolia, Yellowthroat,
Field, Chipping, WHite-throated, Song Sp. Juncos, Towhees, Cardinals.
Downy, Red-bellied WP, YB Sapsuckers, Flickers.
I might head back this afternoon.
