After work, I stopped by the Baseball fence enclosure. Thereupon, two VESPER SPARROWs emerged from the ground and perched on one of the center short plastic mesh fences and stayed out for awhile. Nearby and flying around, even perching on the backstop fence of ball field #4 ( near the Upper Pool) was 1 female EASTERN BLUEBIRD
A stop by the lake revealed a PIED-BILLED GREBE, 27 RUDDY DUCK, and 1 NORTHERN SHOVELER. However, one species commonly seen in summer for a late bird now: 2 LAUGHING GULLs with the common flock.
But trumping these species was a show of force by EASTERN BLUEBIRD, 19 seen by Alex Wilson..See his report.
Finally, an oversight on my part with a late season BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER (BTBL) sighted by Alex. On my way home the day before , I took the woods trail that went along the west cemetery border after work , late afternoon. At the trail steps, a BTBL appeared and worked the brush .
