Quick walks on the east side morning and afternoon turned up the following:
- Pied-billed Grebe
- Mallard
- Wood Duck
- Cooper’s Hawk (chasing a Mourning Dove)
- American Kestrel (with what looked like a large insect in its talons; a couple of goldfinches flew close to its perch to take a look)
- European Starling
- Carolina Wren (heard only, for the entire morning walk)
- American Robin
- Northern Cardinal
- Indigo Bunting (2+)
- Myrtle (Yellow-rumped) Warbler (2+)
- Eastern Towhee (1 female)
- Field Sparrow
- Song Sparrow (around 12)
- Swamp Sparrow (3+)
- White-crowned Sparrow (1 adult)
- Dark-eyed Junco (around 24)
- Red-winged Blackbird
- American Goldfinch (several, not the large numbers I’ve been seeing)
Would have liked to have more time to watch the area along the river to see what popped up.
This afternoon on Russell, between Grand and Jefferson I saw a Cooper’s Hawk flying above the trees.
