Birded Arch Creek Park and Enchanted Parks in the morning and again in the afternoon. Both Parks were fairly active with good numbers along wooded trails in Arch Creek and in the open parkland east of playground in Enchanted Forest. Unfortunately the city is building a haunted forest trail along the east side of the park for Halloween which inhibits some access. Like Steve's report on Wednesday, migrants were attracted to fruiting figs and live oaks. Here is the list:
