Hey Tweets,
Birding offers great and memorable moments--like getting a a glimpse of the
shockingly, bright raised crest of a Golden-crowned Kinglet. This morning
at Robin Hill County Park along with the scent of autumn leaves, I had to
step carefully to avoid banana slugs. One of the first birds to pop out was
a Fox Sparrow. Then a Brown Creeper made its way up a tree. A short
distance later, more Fox Sparrows--one sat in view for a few minutes. Other
notables: Spotted Towhee, Song Sparrow, Winter Wren and Red-breasted
Nuthatch.

I know this doesn't count, but I had never seen one before--a pure white
Peacock! It's on the property (along with geese, alpacas and chickens) that
abuts Robin Hill just beyond the Wetland near Locater Post 12. So much for
exotics.
