It's been rather chilly and quite windy the past few days, and that has kept a lot of the smaller birds hunkered down. And with all the holiday visitors walking around Old Trail, the birds that did come out were quickly back in hiding. But I did see a few good birds.

Old Trail; November 26

I logged only 19 avian species this morning, but the two Winter Wrens I have seen lately were still in the same locations.

Old Trail; November 28

I ended up with 24 avian species this morning, and this morning's list combined with that of November 26th yielded 28 avian species. At one point, three Red-shouldered Hawks were soaring above Western Park.

The avian highlight of the past few days was a Lincoln's Sparrow in Western Park. I haven't seen one in Old Trail since October 2020.
