Overall, the woods and Queens Creek were quiet on Saturday, November 23 as fourteen birders searched for our area’s winter birds – especially those who’ve recently returned to spend the colder months in New Quarter Park. A Hermit Thrush gave everyone great looks as it perched pumping its tail and some Ruby-crowned Kinglets gave us fleeting looks. A solitary Bufflehead flew by, the Ring-billed Gulls have replaced the Laughing Gulls at the Queens Lake Marina, we heard Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers and we found a few White-throated Sparrows and Yellow-rumped warblers. The trees compensated with a display of glorious color.
