Never though highs in the upper 80's would make me think fall had arrived, but it felt refreshingly cool out there after such a brutally hot summer. I went over to check out El Franco Lee Park at midday and was pleased to find the blue-gray gnatcatchers so abundant!
I walked down a path with a rapidly drying out pond on one side, and woods on the other. I was delighted to find some Wilson's Warblers foraging.
These blue gray gnatcatchers are so tiny, only 4 1/2" and they don't hold still for long!
I think this is an Alder Flycatcher, taking a quick break.
Mottled Ducks were abundant too.
I think this is a Nutria, for it was huge. I am guessing it weighed over 10 pounds. Ugh.
This is not a good photo but it does vouch that I saw a tail bobbing Northern Waterthrush.
Yikes I need help with this, is it a Least Flycatcher?
This is a female Wilson's Warbler.
I don't know why they named this a Red Bellied Woodpecker, but that is what this is.
We need some rain desperately. My prayers are with the firefighters and displaced families.
