St. Luke's Anderson Campus Area ~ November 5, 2024

At home, there was a large group of American Robins, several Cedar Waxwings and European Starlings, and a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker hitting the crabapple tree.

They were joined at the little pond by two Common Grackles and several Dark-eyed Juncos and White-throated Sparrows.

The "bronzed" race of Common Grackle.

I did a late morning walk at the St. Luke's Anderson Campus grounds. There was nothing real notable there with the exception of 2 White-crowned Sparrows, one of which appeared to be a good candidate for a "Gambel's" race due to its unmarked lores and orange bill.

There was also a Brown-headed Cowbird in a transitioning plumage.
