This morning under clear and sunny skies and 37 degree weather, eight
members and guests of the Beckham Bird Club gathered at Joe Creason Park and
the
Louisville Nature Center to look for birds. Highlights included singing Brown
Thrashers, mating Carolina Wrens, calling Red-shouldered Hawks and a
Golden-crowned Kinglet responding to the newly acquired "pishing" skills of the
members, courtesy of Pete Dunne. A pair of Eastern Phoebes were gathering
nesting
material at their favorite bridge. And Tufted Timouses filled the woods
with "peter,peter,peter". The bird list totaled 30 and included:
Canada Goose
Mallard
Turkey Vulture
Cooper's Hawk 2
Red-shouldered Hawk 2
Mourning Dove
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Downy Woodpecker
Pileated Woodpecker
Eastern Phoebe

A special thanks to Jack Still who always shows up for these trips to allow
us access to the nature center bird blind after filling the feeders with seed
and calling in the birds (and squirrels).
