Aug 12, 2017: Saturday Bird Walk




A Barn Swallow "parked" on a sign greeted the 12 participants in this morning's bird walk, led by Wolf.  After a brief introduction and the handing out of the "fresh-off-the-press" Park checklists (of all 273 species), the group headed over to the Upland Trail.  An Osprey hunting over the north lake was a delight.  At Jensen Pond, we observed Wood Ducks, a Green Heron, and the 2 adult Red-headed Woodpeckers.  We scoped out the Pond D area and then made our way to the NW corner.  Several butterflies and plants along the way were identified.  A total of 31 avian species were identified on this walk.
