HI all,

We are getting ready to leave for Ecuador on Monday but I wanted to have 
a last morning at WRP. Unfortunately the sunny start soon turned cloudy 
and cold so activity died early. Most of the bird activity was near Pine
Lake 
and the area behind the mini-RR station, and also, some activity at 
Brookside Nature Ctr. I walked into the Gardens which hosted (at least) 
200 Robins -- all calling and some singing -- but little else save about a 
dozen Waxwings. Still, 5 species of warbler but the season is waning fast! 
Goodbye until next spring -- now we have our sights on antpittas...

Birds of interest:

Red-shouldered Hawk - 2
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - 1 fly-over
Northern Flicker - 8-10 (small early AM movement)
Eastern Phoebe - 1
Blue-headed Vireo - 3
Golden-crowned Kinglet - 12+
Ruby-crowned Kinglet - 15+
Eastern Bluebird - 2-3 fly-over
Gray Catbird - 3
Cedar Waxwing - 12
Northern Parula - 2, one a bright male (a bit late?)
Black-throated Blue Warbler - 1 female
Black-throated Green Warbler - 1
Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warbler - 3-4
Common Yellowthroat - 1 HY
Eastern Towhee - 4
Chipping Sparrow - 30+
White-throated Sparrow - 25+
Swamp Sparrow - 1
Dark-eyed Junco - 5

p.s. Came home to find our FOS Hermit Thrush in our yard eating 
honeysuckle berries!
