Rob Raker and I birded Bear Creek Lake Park (BCLP) this morning. We
birded the area around Pelican Point and then walked around the south
side of the lake to the SE corner, where we often find various
flycatcher species. Not near as birdy nor as many Yellow-rumped
Warblers as last Friday but we did have some First of the Season (FOS)
species:
Eastern & Western Kingbirds - at least 2 of each in the SE corner of
lake.
Canada Geese goslings - 4 swimming with their parents
singing Yellow Warblers
singing Vesper Sparrows
Also ran across a nice little flock of Brewer's Sparrows and a flock
(10+) of Savannah Sparrows. This is the largest group of Savannah
Sparrows I have encountered at BCLP. Usually I see them in small
groups of less than 5.
The Cooper's Hawk sitting on the edge of it's nest on Friday is now
sitting on the nest. Rob saw her yesterday sitting on the edge of the
nest with her wings spread as if she was shielding something (eggs???).
