This is the birding hotline report of the Madison Audubon Society for
Thursday, October 12th.

With the cold weather, many birds are moving through and heading
south. HERMIT THRUSHES and DARK-EYED JUNCOS are currently plentiful
in our area. WHITE-THROATED, FOX, and CHIPPING SPARROWS are starting
to leave our area. At 9 Springs Natural Area, be sure to look for any
remaining NELSON'S SHARP-TAILED and LECONTE'S SPARROWS before they all
leave.

Ducks are starting to come into our area on their journey south. Most
warblers are gone with the exception of YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS and
PALM WARBLERS.

One can find flocks of RED-WINGED and RUSTY BLACKBIRDS in addition to
multitudes of COMMON GRACKLES as they gather in large numbers during
migration. WINTER WRENS are also now in our area.

Good birding!
