First Week of November 2022

I was out birding for a couple of days this past week.  The weather has been unseasonably warm with some fog several mornings. Greenway Park and Westminster Ponds were the places I visited.  I have been enjoying finding sparrows and finches - Song Sparrows, White-throated Sparrows, Fox Sparrows, House Finches, American Goldfinches and Purple Finches.  Also Black-capped Chickadees, White-breasted Nuthatches, Dark-eyed Juncos, Downy Woodpeckers, Red-bellied Woodpeckers and Hairy Woodpeckers.   There has been a steady migration of American Robins through the week.
