The place was full of birds, especially Ruby-crowned Kinglets, White-throated Sparrows, Northern Flickers, and Common Grackles. Several birds were fall firsts for me: Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Winter Wren, Hermit Thrush, and Dark-eyed Junco. Warblers included Tennessee, Black-throated Blue, Magnolia, Palm, and Common Yellowthroat. Sparrows included Chipping, Song, and Swamp. Other birds seen: Eastern Phoebe, House Wren, Wood Thrush, Red-eyed Vireo, and Scarlet Tanager.
