I missed the banding session at Seven Islands State Birding Park Sunday
morning (Nov 2nd), but I managed to get out there later for a nice walk.

Birding highlight was a Lincoln¹s Sparrow seen right at the edge of the
new parking lot by the entrance barn at about 10:50.  There was a lot of
activity on the slope west of the parking lot, and the Lincoln¹s came out
and sat 30 m from the car.  There was a Palm Warbler in the same area.

Several White-crowned Sparrows were near the top of the hill where the
wide mowed path bends to the left along with some White-throated Sparrows.
 A female Northern Harrier was initially sitting on the ground at the
bend, and a single Golden-crowned Kinglet was in the woods nearby.

A Pied-billed Grebe was in the little wetland pond down on the lower
section of the park, and there were a good number of cooperative Swamp
Sparrows in the field down by the banding house.

By the time I got back up to the parking area around 1:40 pm the parking
lot was about 3/4 full with quite a lot of people activity (very few
appeared to be birders).  I was unable to find the Lincoln¹s again, but
with all the people moving around I did not look for long.
