Monday October whatever it is has been a lousy day for birding. We went
back to SGL145 to try for the flock of Evening Grosbeak without any luck
whatsoever. We did see Bluebirds, hordes of Chipping Sparrow's, White-throated
Sparrow's, Song Sparrow's, Pine Siskin's, Goldfinch, House Finch, Purple
Finch, Pileated, Downy, Hairy, Red-bellied Woodpecker's and Flicker's, Tufted
Titmice, Chickadee's but not one Evening Grosbeak. So I came home.
At the base of one of the feeders was a stunning male White-crowned Sparrow
which I didn't manage to photograph. Bugger, I'm not having much luck today at
all. I reluctantly decided to have a go at photographing out of the window at
a new perch I set up at the weekend. Damnit I missed a Red-breasted Nuthatch.
This day has been just awful. I did take a few shots while I was waiting for
the Red-breasted to come back which he didn't. All in all a terrible day's birding.
