We had a total of 10 people that met at 0830 to do some Fall Birding .
The rain was Light and stopped within half Hour. It was nice till the last Hour. The
Rain started again. By then we had a Total Of 80 Species for the day.
I was early and there is a small water hole at the back of the Store and 2 Common Redpolls
popped up. When the Group started we went looking for the Redpolls and a small bird at the
edge of the water got our Attention. Finally it came out in the open a Nelson Sparrow. Later we found
the Redpolls. A life bird for most of us
Next the Beach . Not much was Flying But a Horned Grebe ,a Common loon and a Red throated Loon
was jest off shore
Next the Lagoons . The road to the back has a gate and Locked so we stayed out . Along the road were
some Bluebirds and our only Warbler for the day , A Yellow rump
Next the Park. Lots of Feeders and no Feed in them. We did get a Titmouse a Hermit Trush. Another
Red throated Loon .
