Hi folks.... ( please do not complain that is HOT...it is, but enjoy it!)
This morning Dan Salisbury and Luc Fazio led a Riverwood bird walk. 23
partecipants took part in the walk. Here are the highlights
1) Harris's Sparrow, found by Rob Palin and Mike Norton, where the Culham
trail goes under the Hiway 403. Where there are some 20 Cliff Swallows nesting
under the bridge. The main group of birders did NOT see the HASP after it flew
west across the Credit River.
2) new arrivals, some will nest at Riverwood,..
-3 Ruby Throated Hummingbird ( males on territories)
-2 Indigo Buntings, ( males on territories )
-2 Scarlet Tanagers ( males that used to nest here, now just passing
thru)
- 3 GC Flycatchers, 2 Eastern Kingbird, 1 Eastern Wood Peewee, ( along
with EA Phoebe will all nest here)
3) nesting RB Grosbeaks and Baltimore Orioles
