[birding] Finley last weekend

[Lisa Millbank]

This weekend Don and I visited Finley.  Some new fall arrivals for us were Ruby-crowned Kinglet and Fox Sparrow.  Golden-crowned Kinglets, Varied Thrushes and Cackling Geese were becoming more and more common.  There were still occasional Western Tanagers and Turkey Vultures, and lots of Violet-green and Barn Swallows on their way south.  Greater White-fronted Geese continued to pass by.  Greater Yellowlegs were still hanging around at McFadden Marsh with lots of Great Egrets and lots of Red-shouldered Hawks.  We saw at least 5 beautiful White-tailed Kites.
I posted some pictures of some pretty large cougar tracks, Scaly Chanterelles, and an Ensatina at http://groups.google.com/group/mid-valley-nature/browse_thread/thread/4abce404293a86d3
