Though relatively chilly and cloudy, this morning was good for bird
watching. At the connector trail between Parilla Path and Westside
Trails (SW side of the lake), there were a mixed group of ~10 thrush
(Wood, Swainson, Veery, and Gray-Cheeked) in the berried shrubs and
forest floor along with 2 Ovenbirds. Two Blue-Headed Vireos and a
number of warblers (B&W, Parula, Magnolia, Blk Gr, Blk Blue,
Nashville) were seen in the trees at the barred access road across
from Beach Dr at Needwood Rd. The full list is below.
