I thought I'd post my bird sightings at A.D. Barnes Park here for part of fall migration just to show what is around or passing through -- anything seen in this park can probably be seen at any other migrant trap, so go out and look!
Location: A. D. Barnes Park
Observation date: 8/22/10
Number of species: 18
Muscovy Duck (Domestic type) - Cairina moschata (Domestic type) 1
Green Heron - Butorides virescens 1 Almost turned into a meal by a Cooper's Hawk.

Red-eyed Vireo - Vireo olivaceus 10
Barn Swallow - Hirundo rustica 25
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher - Polioptila caerulea 18 Large number of these little passerines, which were the dominant species in the park along with American Redstarts and Red-eyed Vireos. A conservative number as the entire park was not covered.
Northern Mockingbird - Mimus polyglottos 4
European Starling - Sturnus vulgaris 1
Northern Parula - Parula americana 3
Black-throated Blue Warbler - Dendroica caerulescens 1
Yellow-throated Warbler - Dendroica dominica 3
