[Birdtalk] Brighton birds

[Dave Hanscom]

Had a nice walk around the Brighton Basin today - Lake Solitude, Twin 
Lakes Pass, Mount Wolverine, Catherine Pass, and back to the car.  Target 
birds were 3-Toed Woodpecker, Williamson's Sapsucker, American Pipit, and 
Red Crossbill.  Struck out on all but the Sapsucker, which I found at Lake 
Solitude, where a pair entertained me.  Probably nesting there, as usual, 
but I didn't see any little ones.

The only other unusual sighting was a Brown Creeper on the Brighton side 
of the pass between Lake Solitude and Twin Lakes.  I don't see those guys 
very often, since I can't hear them.

Maybe I'll have better luck with my other three targets at the Bird Count 
next Saturday, with more eyes and ears present to help out.  :-)
