I caught up with a friend who I hadn't seen since May yesterday. We went birdwatching in our area and saw quite a bit for late in the season. There is a ravine and two storm ponds located close together, making them perfect for birds to hang out or take a break.

We saw...

American coots
American robins
Black-billed magpies
Canada geese
Chickadees
Cormorants
Crows
Gulls of some kind
House sparrows
Mallards
Rock doves (pigeons)
Swainson's hawk (juvenile)
Yellow-rumped warblers
White crowed sparrow
White throated sparrow
Wigeons

Merlin flagged vesper sparrows being in the area, but we felt it was unlikely. The sparrows were hard to see--they were really deep in some bushes. The warblers were all about, though!
