Sorry for the late report, but I did some additional birding in southern and eastern Nevada this month with mostly minor highlights, as follows:
*1 November* American Crow - Tonopah Cemetery (feeding on lawn and my first for the Tonopah area, I think)
*2 November* Pacific Wren - TNC Torrance Ranch north of Beatty (previously found by Ned Bohman) Varied Thrush - Amargosa River in Beatty Mexican Duck - Long-staying individual at the Longstreet Inn and Casino in Amargosa Valley
*3 November* Yellow-shafted Northern Flicker - Discovery Park in Pahrump (looked good for a pure individual unlike the intergrades we commonly see) White-throated Sparrow - Discovery Park in Pahrump Wilson's Warbler - very late individual at Calvada Eye Park in Pahrump Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - HY individual at the parking lot of the Mountain Springs Saloon on NV-160 between Pahrump and Las Vegas Varied Thrush - Female on the picnic area lawn at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park (with Rose Strickland and Dennis Ghiglieri) Gray Catbird - easy stakeout continuing at Floyd Lamb Park in North Las Vegas (with Rose Strickland and Dennis Ghiglieri)
*4 November* Brown Thrasher - glimpsed at Floyd Lamb near continuing Gray Catbird, seen again (with Rose Strickland and Dennis Ghiglieri)
*5 November* Western Cattle Egret (2) - Hemenway Harbor at Lake Mead, maybe the same two that resurfaced in the Henderson area today Golden-crowned Sparrow - Boulder Beach Campground, Lake Mead
*6 November* Lawrence's Goldfinch - Pyramid Canyon Park below Davis Dam (NV side) near Laughlin Bell's Sparrow: "Fort Mohave "(Aha Macav Parkway in NV) agricultural fields south of Laughlin
*7 November* Lawrence's Goldfinch - Overton WMA (closed to birding on hunt days generally even-numbered days, during season) Pacific Wren (2) - Warm Springs Natural Area near Moapa Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - Adult male at Bunkerville Cemetery
*8 November* MacGillivray's Warbler - very late female at Pahranagat NWR headquarters trails
*10 November* Lapland Longspur - calling flyover at W.E. Kirch WMA Tule Fields Reservoir Short-eared Owl - W.E. Kirch WMA Tule Fields Reservoir
*11 November* Swamp Sparrow - Tonopah Sportsman's Park Wilson's Snipe - another local novelty on the lawn at the Tonopah Cemetery
Definitely some trends with the ongoing irruption of Lawrence's Goldfinches, a good year for Varied Thrush, and a banner season for Pacific Wrens in our region.
