Glenn Coady led another successful bird walk for us on Sunday, September 13th. It was a beautiful September morning, which unfortunately is often not conducive to good birding. Migrants were generally scarce, but a we found a nice mixed flock of warblers near “the bowl” near the end of the walk. Fall warblers are always a challenge to identify (and often even to find) so it was great to have Glenns expert eyes to decipher their cryptic plumage.
At the the end of the walk the list of species seen was:
Red-necked grebe
Double-crested cormorant
Great blue heron
Mute swan
Canada goose
Mallard
American wigeon
Sharp-shinned hawk
Semipalmated plover
Killdeer
Ring-billed gull
Belted kingfisher
Black-capped chickadee
Red-breasted nuthatch
Swainson's thrush
American robin
Gray catbird
Cedar waxwing
Magnolia warbler
Yellow-rumped warbler
Palm warbler
Bay-breasted warbler
Blackpoll warbler
Black-and-white warbler
American redstart
Wilson's warbler
American goldfinch
Merlin
