Decided to stay close to home this morning and had a nice walk over at brookside gardens/pine lake. The cooler weather has brought about a big turnover in species. Highlights were the many FOS, three blue headed vireos, the Lincoln's sparrow, and a rather drab, high-up Nashville warbler that I had to follow for a while until I got a good enough look.
