He appeared to be with a female. Have noticed that there are a lot fewer red winged black birds this year. I've also seen at least five different swans. Also found a beautiful pair of wood ducks hanging around at the Upper Pool for the last few weeks.

The lawns and leaf litter were practically covered in sparrows, and many other species were evident too. Overall I saw 36 total species including the first Hooded Mergansers of the season (about 10 on the lake). There are now over 120 Northern Shovelers on the lake, with more arriving on every north wind. I also managed to relocate all four banded geese I first spotted on Monday. They may stick around through the winter as well. « Block Third Party Cookies in Firefox 2 [...] [...] I spent a couple of hours in Prospect Park early this afternoon on a really nice, chilly Fall day.
