Prospect Oct 19th, a washout....
The only sign of life I saw on this ugly day took place at the Upper Pool wildflower /grass meadow. Once a Ruby-crowned Kinglet appeared, following that tiny bird in succession,also a Song Sparrow and 2 SWAMP SPARROWS.
A BLUE-HEADED VIREO at the Well drive picnic tables ( or Lamppost 249) offer the only other bright note....a better day tomorrow.
