Fellow bird watchers,
This afternoon from 3-4 I birded DRSVP and right next to the steam I
came across a huge sparrow flock that consisted mainly of Swamp and
White-throated sparrows, one or two song sparrows and one LINCOLN'S
SPARROW that gave me good plain views sitting on top of some brambles
for about 30 seconds. Other species of note were three Blue-headed
Vireos that were all foraging together very close to me allowing me to
get some decent photo ops. I have attached a complete list of the
birds I saw below.
