Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Howdy All! =20 It's been a few days since I've been able to take a turn around the park for birds. It was overcast all day. The Blackjack nature trail had large flocks of goldfinches, juncos, and Chipping Sparrows. The Greater Scaup are still hanging out on the lake and the Spotted Towhee is still hanging out on the dam. The area on the lake trail by the beaver pond had three Winter Wrens. It seemed like every area that I went to today had all three nuthatches hanging out in close proximity. =20 Come on out tomorrow for our bird tour beginning at 8:15am. We will visit the places mentioned here and we may go after American Woodcock in an area in the south end of the park. Meet at the park HQ. =20 =20 Tyler SP (PPW-E 065), Smith, US-TX Jan 25, 2013 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Protocol: Traveling 3.0 mile(s) 49 species =20 Mallard 5 Ring-necked Duck 5 Greater Scaup 2 Lesser Scaup 5 Ruddy Duck 23 Pied-billed Grebe 12 Black Vulture 17 Turkey Vulture 24 Red-shouldered Hawk 1 Red-tailed Hawk 1 American Coot 34 Mourning Dove 2 Belted Kingfisher 2 Red-bellied Woodpecker 5 Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 2 Downy Woodpecker 7 Hairy Woodpecker 1 Pileated Woodpecker 5 Blue Jay 10 American Crow 15 Carolina Chickadee 10 Tufted Titmouse 12 Red-breasted Nuthatch 5 White-breasted Nuthatch 8 Brown-headed Nuthatch 6 Brown Creeper 9 House Wren 1 Winter Wren 5 Carolina Wren 8 Golden-crowned Kinglet 7 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 5 Eastern Bluebird 1 Hermit Thrush 2 American Robin 20 Northern Mockingbird 2 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Pine Warbler 20 Yellow-rumped Warbler 34 Spotted Towhee 1 Eastern Towhee 3 Chipping Sparrow 30 Fox Sparrow 4 Song Sparrow 7 White-throated Sparrow 50 Dark-eyed Junco 100 Northern Cardinal 9 Red-winged Blackbird 15 Pine Siskin 1 American Goldfinch 150 =20 =20 Good Birding, =20 =20 Boyd A.
