This afternoon from 4:30 until dark we birded several locations at Kyker Bottoms hoping for unusual sparrows. June Welch had the spot of the day, an adult female Baltimore Oriole in a tree top near the paved parking lot. There was very little water and no waterfowl were observed. Species seen: Northern Harrier Mourning Dove Red-bellied Woodpecker Pileated Woodpecker (heard) Eastern Phoebe Blue Jay American Crow Carolina Chickadee Tufted Titmouse Carolina Wren Ruby-crowned Kinglet Eastern Bluebird Northern Mockingbird Tennessee Warbler Northern Cardinal Indigo Bunting Field Sparrow Song Sparrow Swamp Sparrow White-throated Sparrow White-crowned Sparrow Red-wing Blackbird Baltimore Oriole American Goldfinch Good Birding!
