In late fall conditions the Platte River valley shows scarce bird life. Swede Lind and I note brown thrashers, killdeer, Harris sparrow, tree sparrows, robins, red-breasted nut hatches, black capped chickadees, juncos, flickers, red-tail and marsh hawks, and occasional bald eagles yet are cautious about peak migrations.
