Sunday’s Shots, 10/11/15

~For such a common bird, I never seem to get photo ops with Red-bellied Woodpeckers. Wickham Woodlands Town Park, 10/11/15.~

QUICK POST: I birded Wickham Woodlands Town Park once again this morning, and it was quite birdy. I walked for over two hours and had 37 species for the morning. I had all six of the expected woodpeckers for our area; I was especially happy to see and get a shot of a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Sparrows were not numerous, but I did get 2 White-crowned, 4 White-throated, and 1 Lincoln’s Sparrow. Other highlights included more Yellow-rumped Warblers than I could possibly count, a single Palm Warbler, a Black-throated Blue Warbler, and both kinglets. The Golden-crowned Kinglet was the first I’ve had this year, making it my 190th Orange County bird for the year, which is four more than I had all of last year.

    1. Thanks Wilma, I don’t seem to get very good looks at them very often, so I was pleased. Matt
