1 Swainson's Thrush -- His chirp caught my attention. As I got closer, thrush
markings and eye ring clearly visible. Smaller than Am Robin. Slow verticals
tail bob. When it landed on Stockade fence, it ran, thrush-like, instead of
hopped sparrow-like. Looked it up on bird app and am 100 percent confident in
the call. He was too flighty for me to get close enough w/ my iPhone to take a
pic. Possibly 2 individuals.
1 Song Sparrow
1 White-throated Sparrow
6 Dark-eyed Junco
1 Northern Cardinal
1 House Finch
3 American Goldfinch
4 House Sparrow
