Hello,
Today I did a afternoon birding with Amos and we had a very successful
trip. We visited Stewart Park first, and we headed to the Renwick
Woods. It started a bit slow till we found woodpecker heaven. We saw
various NORTHER FLICKERS, HAIRY WOODPECKERS, TITMOUSE, BLACK-CAPPED
CHICKADEE, CARDINALS, JAYS, and when I said I wish we could see a
PILEATED WOODPECKER it appeared!! It was our first time seeing one,
very exiting and spectacular bird. We also saw two, what appeared to
be HERMIT THRUSH fighting and a COMMON MERGANSER for a second. Then we
went to the lake, we saw some coots, mallards and a BUFFLEHEAD, very
far but easy to identify.
Then we made a stop at country club rd and we were talking about how
awesome would it be to see a YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER, because Amos
hadn't seen one, and we did!! We also saw a Downy.
Then we went to bebe lake to see if we could get a better look at the
COMMON MERGANSER, because I didnt get a good look at the one at
Stewart Park, and we saw around 20 with the Canada Goose and the
gulls! Then Amos said he would like to see a OSPREY, I looked up and
there was the Osprey. When we were leaving Amos said it would be nice
to see a Owl, well we didnt see it but we heard a Screech Owl calling.
I guess we should of wished for a Ivory-billed woodpecker...
Cheers,
Alberto
