Hey all,

     

      I had the good fortune to be able to get away and bird a little while 
this morning at Keen Mountain Park.  As many of you know the road leading to 
the park is very good sparrow habitat and I though I may see some 
White-throated, White-crowned or other migrating sparrows.  I wasn't lucky 
enough to see any of the aforementioned species, however the rest of the birds 
were very active and there were good numbers of them.  Some notables were 
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Swainson's Thrush, Palm and Yellow-rumped Warblers 
and the first Golden-crowned Kinglet I've seen since the spring.  Also saw 
large numbers of American Robins, Cedar Waxwings, Eastern Bluebirds and 
Chipping Sparrows.  I was only out about three hours but managed to bag about 
thirty species.  Not exactly a "big day" but great one none the less.
