The East Sector park in Harrison was very active along McPherson Road. In among a flock of White-crowned Sparrows was a Clay-coloured Sparrow. It’s been a few years since I last saw one. Also in company were several Lincoln’s Sparrows and an early White-throated Sparrow. A Lewis’s Woodpecker did a quick flyby and continued southwards. Fall migration always a lot of fun!!

Photos from today

White-throated Sparrow. I think my second August record. Last year I think I had one Aug 30

I saw, what I always think at first is 'odd crow?', as the Lewis's Woodpecker flew in and landed for a few moments before carrying on.

Not as birdy there this evening but probably worth keeping an eye out for these guys.
