Hi everyone. What a fantastic past couple days. Turkey point yesterday morning was everything you would hope for in fall migration. Cool weather Northerly winds and birds.
The walk out to the light house was pretty good, but not compared to the point where the birds were over the cliff and at the tree tops which was at eye level to me. This made for some nice photographic opportunities and real good looks.

UMMM I know its an odd one, but here is the description. Flying like a finch, flap and glide causing a slight bounce in flight, Calling a loud CLEAR, pause, CLEAR, pause, CLEAR. This bird also had very defined white windows patches on the inside of each wing between the body and the wrist where the secondary's are. It was among the hundreds of Blue jays wanting to cross over from the point.
I truly believe it was an Evening Grosbeak. This was a some what common bird in the later fall in Cecil County many, many years ago on invasion years.
