Lincoln's Sparrow etc -- Wheaton Branch Stormwater Ponds -- Sep 25, 2012

A fun morning at the stormwater ponds, highlights being a Lincoln's Sparrow, Nashville Warbler and Red-tailed Hawk (first time I have recorded these at the ponds), and another Pied-billed Grebe. Blue Jays continue to move through, and there was a good flight of Chimney Swifts after dawn too. Forty eight species in total. Would have been 49 if I'd gotten a decent look at that tanager - Scarlet is the default, but it wasn't possible to rule out Summer on the lousy look I had.
