I birded Black Lake Park this cool, beautiful morning. I found 40 bird species the best being a Common Raven flying and "crawking" northbound just above the treetops near the creek.
Other notable species included Sandhill Crane, Red-shouldered Hawk (a pair chasing each other and vocalizing), Belted Kingfisher, Pileated Woodpecker, Ruby-crowned Kinglet ...
... Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, House Wren, Wood Thrush, White-crowned and White-throated Sparrows, Ovenbird, Northern Waterthrush (both sides of the creek south of the parking lot), Magnolia Warbler (blurry photo of perhaps the same bird as ten days ago?) ...
... Palm Warbler, Rose-breasted Grosbeak (several singing, including this male), ...
... and Eastern Kingbird (my 100th Year Bird) on a post on the far side of the parking lot as I was leaving.
