Dateline: 16 October 2022
As previously reported, beautiful day last Sunday at Presque Isle State Park. A special photo report from BirdingPI.com’s team stationed around the Marsh Trail/Ridge Trail/Dead Pond Trail junction. Part II to follow next week.
Marsh Trail = good, open spot for sometimes seeing fly-by birds. Here, lovely Red-tailed Hawk:
Plenty of Yellow-rumped Warbler, kinglet, woodpecker, and sparrow activity. Here, the former:
Stars of the Marsh Trail, Chipping Sparrow and amazing White-crowned Sparrow:

Downy Woodpecker (m) in the shrubbery:
Cute White-throated Sparrow:
On the Dead Pond Trail, a slightly blurry shot of Brown Creeper; interesting for showing wing coloration/pattern:
This team member slipped and fell on the trail. Very messy. Decided it wasn’t worth while to look for birds. Went home.
