The cold front carried out our big flock of palm warblers and brought in a new
group of birds here on the Flint Hill School west campus this morning (Oct 17)
including the following:
marsh wren (our 3rd record), in the stormwater retention "pond" vegetation
hermit thrush along the Oak Marr stream, our first of the season here
3 ruby-crowned kinglets, our first of the season here
2 towhees
15-20 song sparrows
4 swamp sparrows
1 slate-colored junco, our first of the season here
an american pipit flying over, our first of the season here
several yellow-rumped warblers, yellowthroats, and chipping sparrows
2 brown thrashers (the summer residents left long ago)
and a catbird
