The park was very birdy on this beautiful fall morning. I'm putting
together my own list of sightings at Sandy Point, which is about 3 miles
from our house. Was wondering if anyone knows of other official/unofficial
lists?
        The winter waterfowl have not arrived yet...

        Species seen, in no particular order:

        RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET (3+, very active and almost tame. One almost landed on
me, before deciding I wasn't a tree!)
        EASTERN BLUEBIRD (1)
        YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER (2, Myrtle race)
        Eastern Pheobe (3-4. Popping up all over)
        Eastern Towhee (m and f)
        Mockingbird
        Downy Woodpecker
        Red-Bellied Woodpecker
        Blue Jay (10+)
        Red-Winged Blackbird (2, very bright colors)
