Dateline: 2 October 2022
Mostly cloudy and extremely windy again at Presque Isle State Park on Sunday. Subdued bird activity overall; Pine Tree Trail, however, reasonably active (sheltered) with Blue Jay, sparrows, Dark-eyed Junco, etc. Notable sightings (report to follow): Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and (first time this fall) Golden-crowned Kinglet.
In the meantime, relatively uncommon sighting of what’s probably juvenile Eastern Deer Mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus). Some of these shots less than ideally sharp, but better than the minx. (Admittedly, this little guy was moving pretty fast.) On the Pine Tree Trail.
