Yesterday, I went to the park and stopped at the Reservoir to find out that the water level was finally raised so that the dike was covered. It also seemed like the gulls were more spread out. As I scanned the gulls, I saw a bird that was small and dark. A Laughing Gull! As I watched the bird, I kept seeing a brownish thing on the edge of my sight. I intiallly thought it was a leaf, but decided to look and realized it was my first Palm Warbler of the season! And I also found a second Laughing Gull! Year bird #144 is in the bag! Other than that, there were the usual birds, but more arrivals had come. At Maintenance Meadow, I found my first Eastern Phoebe of the fall, and at the Gill, I also found my first White-Throated Sparrow of the fall. I also saw a male Hooded Warbler at Azalea Pond, likely the same one that was here last Tuesday. Anyway, here is what I saw:
