Had a lovely morning walk at the Arboretum Saturday. Got some nice views of
a Coopers Hawk and an immature Red Tail Hawk. Also got my first really
great view of a yellow-bellied sapsucker. I know they're common, but I tell
ya I never get good views of these little guys. They are so quiet compared
to other woodpeckers. This one was right next to us and the sun really lit
up its red nape and yellow belly. I was quite excited for this personal
first! In no particular order, here's what we saw:
Northern mockingbird
Kestrel
Cooper's hawk
Robin
Cardinal
Yellow-bellied sapsucker
White throated sparrow
Ruby-crowned kinglet
Golden-crowned kinglet (many!)
White-breasted nuthatch
Brown creeper (many!)
Red-bellied woodpecker
Towhee (heard)
Carolina wren
Red-tailed hawk, immature
Crow
Bluejay
Carolina chickadee
Tufted titmouse
The usual non-natives like starlings, house sparrows, etc.
