2015 Bird Count

[Catherine]

Oct 7, 2015

28) Bells Vireo
29) White Breasted Nuthatch

I posted both these birds on Oct 7. I don't know what happened to the post. The trees were full of birds. These are the two I was able to identify.

I am going to have to watch carefully. There will be many migrating birds this time of year. I might see something really interesting.

I saw a group of migrating sparrows. There are a lot of them this year.
30) White crowned Sparrow

I saw some kind of warbler, but I am still not sure which one. I will count it when I am sure.

31) White throated sparrow

I saw it a few days ago, but I didn't try posting until we fixed the glitch.

The bird that I thought was a warbler  is actually an Eastern Kingbird

32) Eastern Kingbird

The birds are migrating so I am seeing birds that don't normally live in the area.

I think I saw a Vesper Sparrow, but mostly I saw the flash of the tail feathers. It is distinctive. Sometimes birds are hard to identify.

I should start a 2016 bird count thread. We can start again. I didn't see as many as I hoped, but I saw lots of the birds that I did see.

Platy, you had a great bird watching year. I wish you even more birds in 2016.
