ROB FANNING REPORTS: Monday, 102008
October 20, 2008
Rob sez: The Siskin Show continues at the CF. Some very nice looks today. Other
highlights were a singing male Purple Finch, my first Fox Sparrow of
the fall, and an up close and personal Winter Wren. Well worth getting
out in the freezing cold.
Fred Weber saw a Blackpoll -- new late date for CF.
