Birding - Higbee Beach




For me it was another glorious fall day with moderate temperatures and lots of birds to make me happy.  I have been away or busy most of the past month so I haven't had much of a chance to go birding.  Higbee Beach has been busy with migrating birds so I decided I'd start my day there.  Lots of Yellow-rumped Warblers, White-throated Sparrows, Goldfinches, Pine Siskins, Eastern Phoebes, Ruby and Golden-crowned Kinglets, Flickers, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Cardinals, Blue Jays were feeding.  A highlight of the day was seeing several Brown Thrashers.  There were kettles of  hawks flying overhead along with the single hawks that were trying to pick off a meal.
