Hello all.

I birded Swan Creek this morning and found some great birds. A decent-sized fallout gave me a lot to sort through...I was definitely in the right place at the right time today. My route took me from the office to the beach.

Highlights:

Great Blue Heron: 3
Great Egret: 1
Little Blue Heron: 6
LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL: 1 adult, off of the beach area
Eastern Phoebe: 2
Hermit Thrush: 3
Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 11
Common Yellowthroat: 2
Myrtle Warbler: 8
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER: 1 off of the left side of the path right before the platform
Eastern Towhee: 1
Song Sparrow: 90+ at least 60 were resting in the grass off of the left side of the path along the dike
Savannah Sparrow: 6
Swamp Sparrow: 12+ brush and wetland areas
White-throated Sparrow: 30+
LINCOLN'S SPARROW: 1 near platform
Field Sparrow: 2
Chipping Sparrow: 1 flyover
Junco: 2
