This morning, the Aldo Leopold Audubon Society ALAS weekly bird walk led by Rob Pendergast was at Lake DuBay. It was very foggy, but still warm for October, with many hardwoods still retaining brilliant foliage and a GRAY CATBIRD hanging around. Seven birders participated in the walk. Twenty-four unique species were observed. We birded the forest around the Dam Rd. loop and looked out over the river for a ~2hr trip. Highlights included parties of flitting DARK-EYED JUNCOS and trumpeting RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES. Multiple PINE SISKINS flew over, as well as an AMERICAN PIPIT. A late EASTERN TOWHEE was calling from the nearby woods while we looked out over the water. Despite limited visibility, two BONAPARTE'S GULLS, four LESSER SCAUP, and three GADWALL were observed flying in and landing.
