    Details

    My 2nd OCWA in as many days in different counties. Photos obtain although they are likely poor ones.

52. plava sjeničica

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    Getting a bit late. A nice October bird; very likely a first year female, given the limited yellow on the throat and breast.

53. crvenokapa sjeničica

    Number observed:  25

    Details

    Several on the hills but very difficult to get accurate counts given the off-leashed dogs situation. It’s very frustrating that park users like myself cannot enjoy the outdoor space due to selfish law breaking behavior by a few.

59. bjelogrli batač

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    In 2020, I documented the 1st DICK (snicker) for the park. It looks like I found the 2nd. First heard the raspy buzz and began looking. It took some time but I finally spotted the bird among some ragweed and then as if on cue like the 2020 bird, it teed up for me, giving ample looks and time enough to grab Digiscoped shots. Quite pleasing. Either a female given the lack of a black vest or evidence of an emerging one. Or could be a 1st winter male. Pale bill with plain cheek and yellow breast. Digiscoped images to be added.

60. vrapčarke sp.

    Number observed:  7

    Details

    Zipped by too fast to get my bins up. This is the time I wonder if I should have left the scope in the whip as it is not easy to raise bins while balancing the scope on one’s shoulders.
