Jeff Ellerbusch reports 8 White-winged Crossbill flyovers this morning at Chimney Rock in Martinsville. Also part of the early morning flight were 9 Purple Finches, 10 Pine Siskins, 1 Rusty Blackbird, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, 2 Winter Wrens, Golden and Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Hermit Thrush and Fox Sparrow.
=======================================
This morning, a frosty Troy Meadows hosted the first two American Tree Sparrows of the season for Morris County. 4 Fox Sparrows were seen along Troy Meadows Road as well as Ruby and Golden-crowned Kinglets. All three of these species currently seem to be everywhere in Morris. A Vesper Sparrow is near the old skeet shooting area. This is probably one of three Vesper Sparrows seen at this same locale on October 27. Eastern Bluebirds, Hermit Thrush and Yellow-rumped Warblers joined an abundance of Dark-eyed Juncos, Song, White-throated and Swamp Sparrows.
