This morning during a brief visit to NCOS, I saw 3 species of kingbirds at Phelps Pond: Tropical, Cassin's, and Western.
Elings Park local interest: yesterday there were 2 Horned Larks, and a Vesper Sparrow in the native section-- is this one of the birds that been here for some time or a new one? Who can say. Yellow-rumped Warblers have finally arrived with 8 in the fennel.
On Wednesday there was a Loggerhead Shrike, and a male and female American Kestrel, in and around the native patch. Both these species have been in short supply at the park for the past several years.
