Fall migration has changed over the last week or so, with warblers becoming less common, and large numbers of sparrows and other late fall migrants moving through. Best bird this week was a
Vesper Sparrow on Thursday, other sparrows included several
Field Sparrows, a juvenile
White-crowned Sparrow, lots of
Dark-eyed Juncos, as well as the expected
Song Sparrows, White-throated Sparrows and
Eastern Towhees.
Thrushes continue with the arrival of the
Hermit Thrushes, mixed in with a few
Swainson's Thrushes.
Particularly common right now are
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers and
Ruby-crowned Kinglets, both of which seem to be everywhere.
Warblers are not entirely absent of course, this weeks haul has included
Nothern Parula, Palm, Yellow-rumped and
Blackpoll.
V
esper Sparrow, a very well marked individual. The white eye-ring is particularly striking...
Field Sparrow, very pretty...
