November 20th Prospect : LP249 is good to show

Lamppost #249, the Well Drive picnic tables site revealed another nice find , an out of season ( or late) NASHVILLE WARBLER reported by Alex Wilson. This find comes behind yesterday's Orange -Crowned Warbler. So, it's a "Go to" spot to look for potential good stuff...Also noted are 2 RUSTY BLACKBIRDS at Lily Pool ( or Pond ) and one remaining GREEN-WINGED TEAL , a hen at West Island.
