NDG, October 4
-19 species in 2 hours
-12 to 18 degrees and clear
-A Sharp-shinned Hawk swooping sparrows was a site first (Species #82)
-Two Fox Sparrow skulking hard
-A Catharus thrush struck me as very grey in the field, but...was it a drab Hermit Thrush (no spectacles…complete-ish eye ring)…I dunno it still bothers me, this one (Grey-cheeked?). I'm so dumb.
-->The edges were heaving with sparrows:
-20ish Dark-eyed Juncos
-30ish Chipping Sparrows
-40ish White-throated Sparrows
Getting on a plane tomorrow.
