I found myself with some time to spare before the rains came this morning, and
checked out Cheswick Park for the first time. The park is reached from the
southbound lanes of Forest Avenue south of Skipwith in the West End. This is a
small suburban park, but it has a nice creek running through it. Things were
pretty quiet near the parking lot, but back along the creek, I found a very
cooperative Louisiana Waterthrush. In the end, I had thirty species in about an
hour. I heard or saw seven warbler species, including good looks at both
subspecies of Palm Warbler. A singing Swainson’s Thrush was a real treat as
well.
While I wouldn’t exactly tout this as a birding destination, if you find
yourself in the neighborhood with some time on your hands, it can provide a
pleasant diversion.
