Greater White-fronted Goose (click to see the larger version<\/i>)<\/p><\/div>\n

The adult Greater White-fronted Goose was still at Montrose this morning, October 16. I first saw it in the lake with Canada Geese south of the restrooms, and I saw it again with Canada Geese on the grass just east of the bait shop as I was driving out.<\/p>\n

I also walked around the point for a little while and there seemed to be good numbers of passerines around, especially White-crowned and White-throated Sparrows. Some of the other birds I saw include:<\/p>\n

Horned Grebe – 1
\nRed-tailed Hawk – 1, the continuing juvenile I presume
\nBlack-belled Plover – 2 at the east end of the beach
\nSanderling – ~8, all at the west end of the beach
\nChimney Swift – ~300 swarming low over the point
\nRed-bellied Woodpecker – 1 male
\nHorned Lark – 1 flyover at the beach
\nWinter Wren – 2
\nRuby-crowned Kinglet – ~6
\nGolden-crowned Kinglet – 2
\nAmerican Pipit – 1 flyover
\nLapland Longspur – 1 flushed from the beach
\nTennessee Warbler – 1
\nOrange-crowned Warbler – 5
\nBlack-throated Green Warbler – 1
\nAmerican Tree Sparrow – 1, my FOS
\nFox Sparrow – 1
\nRusty Blackbird – 4, all in the dunes
\nPurple Finch – 2, 1 male and 1 female
\nPine Siskin – 1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
