Taking advantage of the warm temperatures this afternoon, we checked out Emma McCarthy Lee Park here in Ames.
Most surprising to me was this LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH:
I don't keep track of county lists.... but this WAS the first time I've seen one in Story County.
Singing up a storm was this NORTHERN PARULA:
Other sightings consisted of:
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Winter Wren
Brown Creeper
Field Sparrow
Fox Sparrow
