I birded the Lakeshore Nature Preserve this morning from the Union to the
Picnic Point marsh. I had some pretty nice birds including a Green-winged
Teal (a new BIGBY bird) a Common Loon swimming withing 15 feet of the Union
Terrace, about seven waterfowl species, and a passerine flock near the
Picnic Point marsh that contained dozens of Am. Tree Sparrows (I also had
one in my yard today for the first time) a Winter Wren, an Eastern Phoebe,
two or three Yellow-rumped Warblers, and a CAROLINA WREN. I heard this bird
before I saw it and actually thought it was someone playing a recording
because of how incredibly loud and perfect the song was! Also had an animal
that I at first thought was a giant squirrel but turned out to be a Gray
Fox! At Forest Hill Cemetery I found 12 Pine Siskins, 40 Juncos, and a
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Ho Nee Um had Gadwall and Shovelers, plus two Fox
Sparrows. I certainly made the 20 species minimum today, and it was all on
my bike!
Cheers,
