Hi, I birded here from 12:30-4:00. I thought I heard a Hermit Thrush a little ways into the swamp, so I pished. Up came a Rusty Blackbird. It was then that I remembered that the calls of these two birds are quite similar!
Red-tailed Hawk 1 accipiter sp. 1 Hairy Woodpecker 1 Brown Creeper 1 Golden-crowned Kinglet 3 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Winter Wren 1 in middle of swamp (there are many entrances into the swamp. Simply choose any area where boards are lay down) Cedar Waxwing 2 Yellow-rumped Warbler 8 in swamp Dark-eyed Junco 31 in passive field near gog park field Rusty Blackbird 1 near old Eurasian Teal wet area dragonfly sp. 1 Garter Snake 1 Coyote 2+ they're more afraid of you than you are of them) Eastern Chipmunk 2 Gray Squirrel 3 Eastern Cottontail 1
