Birding this month

Spotted about 114 species, not bad.

Particularly, this Fall was good for warblers. Too bad Yellow-throated wasn't reported again.

Spotted this month;
Orange-crowned, Nashville, Common Yellowthroat, Magnolia, Yellow, Chestnut-sided, Blackpoll, Black-throated Blue, Palm, Yellow-rumped, Black-throated Gray, Townsend's, Wilson's.

That's 13 warblers this month.

Did spot Magnolia with the help of other birders, but no Dickcissel, that was disappointing. It stayed like two days there methinks.

Yesterday birded Descanso and again with the help of other birders(4, including Chris who spotted it), found Black-throated Blue, a very rare vagrant from the East. Visibility was so poor, dunno how she spotted it. Thank goodness.

Now Fall migrant period is essentially over. Black-throated Green warbler was spotted at Lancaster yesterday by veteran birders David Bell/Luke Tiller/The Scheels, but that's about it I guess. Too bad I missed Dunlin. Now not much more birds I can add; Eastern Phoebe, Black and white Warbler, Pine Warbler, Red naped Sapsucker..not sure I can make it to 320 species.

Anyhow, so far
