All: A number of birders turned up at City Field, accessed from the road neaarest Bedfor Basin running from Seaview Park along to the container pier. (See Dave Currie's earlier explict instructions.) There were lots of birds, including all of yesterday's. Among less usual ones were at least 5, probably more, Indigo Buntings (all in female or First Basic plumage) one of which was suspiciously warm-coloured and streakless on the breast (cf. Lazuli). Also seen were the two late E. Wood-Pewee (i.d. as Eastern confirmed by Dave Currie's photos of yesterday), Y-b. Cuckoo, Philadelphia Vireo (new), House Wren (new), the tail-less Lark-Sparrow, and a Bobolink. One panic flight of House Sparrows consisted of a minimum of 30 birds. The small flock of Jungle Fowl (a.k.a. more-or-less wild-type domestic chicken) is still hanging in from last winter. Cheers, Ian McLaren
