Our September Bird Walk was lead once again by Glenn Coady. Birds were tough to find, but we managed 29 species, including the local rare bird, a Yellow-crowned Night-Heron. This long-staying rarity proved difficult to see, but most people managed to get a look at it.

Here is the full list of birds seen:

Canada Goose
Mute Swan
Mallard
Hooded Merganser
Red-necked Grebe
Double-crested Cormorant
Great Blue Heron
Green Heron
Black-crowned Night-Heron
Yellow-crowned Night-Heron
Northern Harrier
Spotted Sandpiper
Ring-billed Gull
Herring Gull
Mourning Dove

Chimney Swift
Belted Kingfisher
Eastern Kingbird
American Crow
Gray Catbird
Cedar Waxwing
American Redstart
Magnolia Warbler
Bay-breasted Warbler
Palm Warbler
Song Sparrow
Red-winged Blackbird

Most birds weren’t cooperating well for photos, but here are a few including a Garter Snake found a few feet off the ground in some bushes.
