We went for a little walk at Cheam this afternoon.
On the lake, we counted 32 Greater White-fronted Geese. At the far side of the lake we saw two Redhead. As we were about to walk back, we heard the plaintive "Wheedle Wheedle" calls of two Horned Lark flying overhead. They might be the first for the park.

On the Loop Trail we enjoyed a young Virginia Rail quietly feeding at the shoreline. Not often are these guys seen and if so, it's just a glimpse as they run across open areas to new places to hide.

Over to the Beaver Pond, a young Sora was feeding even more in the open! Great views and also a lifer for Benny.

Fall migration is always a blast.
