Sorry for the late post!
Yesterday while walking at Cape Horn Park I had 2 new species for the park,
and a second sighting of a new species for the park:
YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER--1
AM. PIPIT--6
EASTERN MEADOWLARK--7 ( second time in a week, I haven't
seen them here in 6 years of walking the park)
And also many other birds were present on such a nice morning:
Canada Goose--too many to count, mostly locals
Mallard--a pair on the pond
Ring-billed gulls--7
Mourning Doves--many courting
Red-bellied Woodpecker--heard several, saw 1
Downy Woodpecker--1
Blue Jay--1
White-breasted Nuthatch--2
Carolina Wren--singing
E. Bluebird---6 ( 5-8 consistently all winter, 2 pairs on boxes)
Am. Robins--more than a hundred, cruising the fields for worms
N. Mockingbird--2
E Starling--TOO MANY
N. Cardinal--several males singing to the girls
Song Sparrow--everywhere
White-throated Sparrow--still making a good showing
D. E. Junco--9
Red-winged Blackbird--20 or so
C. Grackle--12
Brown-headed Cowbird--5
Am. Goldfinch--9, with 2 males chasing each other with lots of acrobatics
Happy Spring!!!
