Grant County Park on Saturday and had a pretty good morning of birding with perfect weather. We were challenged with several Sparrow species to identify. At least two Lincoln's Sparrows allowed us to compare them with the nearby Savannah and Song Sparrows. Another noteworthy Emberizid was a drab, first winter Lark Sparrow. We also found our first winter Warbler of the new fall term, the Yellow-rumped and our first Hermit Thrush of the season. Other highlights included a heard-only Sora at the lake, a small group of Ring-necked Ducks in eclipse plumage, two large groups of Wild Turkeys, Say's Phoebe, and a Green Heron. It was also a great day for mammals with two herds of Wild Pigs, a pair of Mule Deer and a Bobcat!
