Bossier City Quad, Bossier, US-LA
Jan 12, 2014 9:00 AM - 10:20 AM
Protocol: Traveling
2.45 mile(s)
Comments: 1 observer, 1 hour, 20 minutes (0900-1020), 2.45 miles car-side.
Clear, 45 degrees, wind calm/ trace E/S beginning, then clear, 52 degrees
ending. Saw the White-winged Doves, which are common to near abundant breeders
but often near impossible to locate in winter. Things were slow so grabbed the
window, then birded Central Park neighborhood near parents' home- with a
slightly different route that was taken on a former trip some years ago.
28 species
Double-crested Cormorant 16
Ring-billed Gull 3
Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon) 2
Eurasian Collared-Dove 5
White-winged Dove 6 Single group- 3 initially perched in large oak across
the street from our house, then 3 more joining the group by ones shortly
afterward. Surprisingly missed Inca, which has been fairly easy to detect here
latterly.
Mourning Dove 4
Red-bellied Woodpecker 7
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 3
Downy Woodpecker 3
Northern Flicker 2
Eastern Phoebe 3
Blue Jay 12
Fish Crow 1
Carolina Wren 8
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1
American Robin 9
Northern Mockingbird 9
European Starling 29
Cedar Waxwing 17
Orange-crowned Warbler 4
Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle) 12
White-throated Sparrow 8
Northern Cardinal 22
Red-winged Blackbird 5
Common Grackle 1
House Finch 5
American Goldfinch 3
House Sparrow 73 I noticed the recent article mentioning declines of these
across portions of the U.S. There was a period of time during the '90's when
they were in much lower numbers here. However, they've been on the increase
ever since- and remain in very large numbers regarding Shreveport and Bossier-
at least since '06 or so! (;
