[Tero]

262 Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow
263 LeConte's Sparrow

That makes three (3) for October.

Some people here have seen Nelson's lately too. Our group saw some new sparrows to me, but I did not catch them all. One was new for me. I think it was White Crowned, juvenile. Have done OK with 04 warblers, I had more than in 03 or 02.

Hi Timmy,

Welcome to BirdForum! I'm glad you got the Gadwall. I am certain that if you keep birding, you will manage to see many, many more birds in the days and years to come. Glad to have you aboard!

Good Birding!

Birding around Saint Joseph, Missouri, USA

I had a good sparrow day (eleven species of native sparrows) plus about 50 Dark-eyed Juncos! The juncos are back from the north country in force.

266 Common Loon (6 for October) I had a yodeling, flyover at Lake Contrary, Saint Joseph, so did not have to travel to Smithville Lake to see one!

Also had Brown Creeper (1) and Pine Siskins (2) today.
