Hi Anthony,
Good finds! Where in the park did you find the MacGillivray's? I'd like to
go look for it today.
Thanks!

Greetings All:
I spent two hours at Clapp Park this morning. Recent rains have brought
the playas up, greened the foliage up a bit more, and there is a goodly
assortment of waterfowl and regular October migrants on the premises.
Highlights amongst the list of 46 birds were: 3 American Wigeons, 3
Blue-winged Teals, 4 Green-winged Teals, 1 flyover Double-crested
Cormorant, 1 Green Heron, 1 Yellow-crowned Night Heron, 1 Cooper's Hawk, 1
adult Red-shouldered Hawk in the trees along the berm, 1 Swainson's Hawk
and 1 immature Broad-winged Hawk in with a kettle of 31 Turkey Vultures, 1
immature Black-chinned Hummingbird, 1 Marsh Wren, 1 Carolina Wren, 1 Hermit
Thrush, 2 Gray Catbirds, 1 Brown Thrasher, 9 Orange-crowned Warblers,1
MacGillivray's Warbler, 2 Yellow-rumped Warblers, 1 Wilson's Warbler, 1
Cassin's Sparrow, 3 Chipping Sparrows, 2 Clay-colored Sparrows, 1 Song
Sparrow, and 3 Lincoln's Sparrows.
Of these, the Carolina Wren was new for my 2015 list at Clapp Park,
bringing me up to 173 species of bird at the site this year.
