Lamar (Prowers) on Oct12

[DAVID A LEATHERMAN]

Finally the weather got off its hot and dry treadmill. Instead of nearly 90 like yesterday, today was cool (high of around 60).

Lamar Community College Woods had a nice mix with the highlights being:

House Wren

Marsh Wren

Ruby-crowned Kinglet

Lincoln's Sparrow

BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER

Brown Thrasher

Northern Cardinal (2)

White-breasted Nuthatch (eastern)

Red-bellied Woodpecker

Chestnut-collared Longspur (heard overhead)

Krider's Red-tailed Hawk

Spotted Towhee

Orange-crowned Warbler (8)

Fairmount Cemetery:

PINE WARBLER (1 singing male) possibly the same bird that has been present for months - if so, will it winter?

Total around town for the last week, which has seemed quite slow for this part of the state and date: 81
