August 2, 2014: Wolf's July 2014 Wildlife Report




Common Yellowthroats are quite common in the prairie areas of the Park. This female was interested in my "pishing" and flew in close to investigate. 7/26/14 (Wolf. Oesterreich)


A total of 70 (plus 1 sp.) avian species was recorded this month at Ada Hayden Heritage Park, ranking this month as 5th highest July total (tied with 2004) among 17 years of records.



Listed below, following the species' names, are the date(s) of sighting(s), plus the occasional miscellaneous information regarding numbers, gender (♂=male, ♀=female), age (im=immature, ju=juvenile, abp=adult breeding plumage, ad=adult, anb=adult non-breeding), color phase (b=blue, w=white), and location (BY=back yard).  The order follows the 54th Supplement (2013) to the American Ornithologists' Union Check-list of North American Birds and the 13th Supplement to the 7th Edition (1998).
