In spite of a strong Birdcast report (see below), there was not all that much happening. I started with a couple of lakes &#8211; Glenmere and Wickham, but neither had any waterfowl on them outside of Canada Geese and a single Double-crested Cormorant at Wickham. I birded the black dirt briefly; there were plenty of American Pipits and the expected sparrows around, but not much else. I walked at Winding Waters; it was relatively birdy and I enjoyed sifting through sparrows (Song, Swamp, White-throated, Savannah, and a single Lincoln&#8217;s), and I also had 3 species of warbler (Palm, Blackpoll, and Yellow-rumped).  Here are my images from the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-YRWA.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-YRWA-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-YRWA-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-YRWA-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-YRWA-768x615.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-YRWA-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-YRWA-1200x960.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-YRWA.jpg 1862w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~Yellow-rumped Warbler at Winding Waters Trail, 10\/18\/26.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-BPWA.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-BPWA-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-BPWA-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-BPWA-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-BPWA-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-BPWA-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-BPWA-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-BPWA-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-BPWA.jpg 1617w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~Blackpoll Warbler at Winding Waters, 10\/18\/26.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-WTDE.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-WTDE-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-WTDE-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-WTDE-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-WTDE-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-WTDE-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-WTDE-2048x1638.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-WTDE-1200x960.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~White-tailed Deer at Wickham Lake, 10\/18\/26.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-EABL.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-EABL-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-EABL-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-EABL-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-EABL-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-EABL-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-EABL-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/101826-EABL.jpg 1384w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~I&#8217;ve never seen such an angry looking Eastern Bluebird.
