Last Bird Stop In October Was Parmelee Farm

 My last birding stop of the month was at the 132 acre Parmelee Farm preserve in Killingworth. The area has a nice historic country feel to it.They have community gardens which can be a good place to look for fall sparrows.

I've found that pumpkin fields are a good place to look for interesting bird species like pipits, once the remaining pumpkins start to rot.

 There was plenty of bird activity including Cedar Waxings, Field Sparrows, and Song Sparrows like this one.

The month seemed to go so quickly. Halloween is on Tuesday and then we're in November already!(photo is at Colchester town green)
