| 10/8+9/11 Birding Northern DE with an Ashland Hawkwatch stop (thanks Cyrus!): It was Yellow-rumped Warbler time! Also: a White-crowned Sparrow , a Song Sparrow study of many birds, a Sharp-shinned Hawk , a Palm Warbler , various Northern Cardinal individuals, an Indigo Bunting , a House Finch flock and a House Sparrow , some Gray Catbird individuals, a Common Yellowthroat , and a Blackpoll Warbler ! |
| 10/15+16/11 Birding northern DE, with a stop at Ashland Hawkwatch (No, we didn't get to see the Golden Eagle), and Conowingo, MD : A Ruby-crowned Kinglet was checking among some berries while an accipiter (thought it was a male Cooper's Hawk from flight) perused the trees for a meal. Black Vultures and Bald Eagles were offering opportunities to itchy fingers at the dam - they are always fun to watch! |
| 10/22+23/2011 CHSP and Ashland, DE: A Hermit Thrush posed nicely along with a Blackpoll Warbler. The Golden-crowned Kinglet didn't sit still for long and the Eastern Towhee pair vanished quickly. Yellow-rumped Warbler flocks were abundant. Also shown: a White-breasted Nuthatch, a Red-breasted Nuthatch, and an American Robin flock gorging happily on berries. |
| 10/24/2011 Couldn't pass up a brilliant morning and ran out for some shots. Nothing unusual but some of the usual suspects allowed some close pictures: a Ruby-crowned-Kinglet , a Carolina Chickadee , a flock of House Finch , and a Northern Cardinal . An American Goldfinch flock in nonbreeding plumage came in to feed while a little Song Sparrow wondered what was going on! |
