Hi birders,
I also had my first White-crowned Sparrows of the fall with two adult birds
on my monthly Soil Born Farms walk yesterday morning. This is an urban farm
along the American River Parkway in Rancho Cordova. I also had an
exceptionally early American Pipit that flushed up from a field where some
of the staff were working and flew over our group calling about 3 times
before it disappeared to the south. Good birding,
Clifford Hawley
Sacramento, CA
