Cobirders,
Bear Creek Nature Center hosted is mostly annual Spring Bird Count this
morning. Birding wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. We had 68 species
for the morning.
By far the best bird seen by Rise" Foster-Bruder, Neil Basdekas and Paula
Megorden was a male Blue-winged Warbler along the Creekbottom Trail the goes
upstream from the nature center. They found the bird around 7:30 a.m. Several
of us were unsuccessful in trying to refind the bird between 10:45 and 12:30.
The stables around Penrose Stadium had over two hundred Chipping Sparrows, 40
or more Lark Sparrows, 12 Clay-colored Sparrows, a few White-crowned Sparrows
and two Lark Buntings. The buntings were a surprise for us.
Other good birds included Cassin's and Plumbeous Vireos, Orange-crowned
Warblers, Virginia Warblers, and several dozen Yellow-rumped Warblers;
Green-tailed Towhee, Cordilleran Flycatcher and other Empids; Swainson's and
Hermit Thrush; Broad-winged Hawk,Northern Goshawk and finally two seemingly
late Dark-eyed Juncos.
Good Birding!
