Hi Reta,
We had 16 members and friends join in on Frank Schaff’s lead for our
Birdwalk yesterday. It was 52 Degrees at the 7:45 a.m. start at Belle Isle
State Park. It was beautiful and sunny so it warmed up nicely. I never know
how to dress lately with our changeable weather so I layered and was glad of
it. We had two young girls join the walk with their moms as they were on
Spring Break from grammar school, and able to come. It was enjoyable to see
the young girl use her bird book at such a young age.
Here are our 43 Species:
Eastern Bluebird, Barn Swallow, Osprey, Wild Turkey, Turkey Vulture,
Northern Mockingbird, Chipping Sparrow, Northern Cardinal, Mourning Dove,
American Crow, White-throated Sparrow, Killdeer, Yellow-rumped Warbler,
Dark-eyed Junco, Pine Warbler, Double-crested Cormorant, Song Sparrow, Carolina
Wren, Downy Woodpecker, Laughing Gull, Brown-headed Cowbird, Dunlin,
Red-bellied Woodpecker, Great Blue Heron, Forster’s Tern, Horned Grebe, Gray
Catbird, Ruddy Duck, Clapper Rail,-(auditory), Red-winged Blackbird, Carolina
Chickadee, Yellow-throated Warbler, Lincoln Sparrow, Swamp Sparrow, Ring-billed
Gull, Pied-billed Grebe, Fish Crow, Boat-tailed Grackle, Bald Eagle, Greater
Yellowlegs, Common Grackle, European Starling and Black Vulture.
I must say our Yellow-throated Warbler was the star of the day. We kept
hearing him sing but it took a long time to find him but, when we did, he
stayed out in the sunlight and gave us a magnificent show.
Nine of us were able to go to lunch at the Lancaster Tavern. We enjoyed
the day.
Happy Birding,
Maryalyce J. Johnsen
