My wife and I enjoyed the fabulous crisp fall weather at Jug Bay today.
Notables were a Lincoln's Sparrow and a male Rusty Blackbird male on
the Railroad bed trail, Red-headed Woodpeckers at Otter Point
(excavating a roosting cavity), and our FOS Eared Grebe. We also had
some tardy migrating warblers, a Chetnut-sided (on the forest trail)
and a male Black-throated Blue at Otter Point.
Full list and some pics below.
