Looks like there may have been a decent push of birds last night/this morning. Fort Bayard Park this morning featured a number of migrants, notably:
Common Loon (flyover, of course)
at least 5 Northern Flickers (saw an interesting courtship display)
3 Ruby-crowned Kinglets
Brown Thrasher (first I've seen here)
2 Yellow-rumped Warblers
Pine Warbler (also a first for me here)
Eastern Towhee (singing in a neighboring yard, a first for me here)
1 lingering Dark-eyed Junco
I'll bet those venturing into less urban settings this morning got some interesting birds!
