I didn't start out yesterday trying to see how many birds I could see, but
it turned out that way. The morning was overcast and foggy, the one late
afternoon trip was hot and humid. Saw 52 species in all!! I only went to
my normal places: Airport Road - 35 species, Hays Station Road - 7
additional species, Monroe Road - 6 additional species and finally Menzie's
Bottom Road - 4 additional species.
Saw all of the usual suspects but had some interesting ones as well. From
the 4 locations I found the pileated , red-bellied, flicker, hairy, downey,
and red- head woodpeckers, green and great blue herons, Baltimore and
orchard orioles, cedar waxwings, common yellow throat and prairie warblers
and the find of the day - bald eagle. Anyone who would like to see the
whole list, let me know.
All in all quite a day in the rural community. I hope we can preserve this
wonderful mixed habitat with the approaching 4 lane highway project and the
associated increased in human population.
