We had the first of my more or less every-other Wednesday Morning field trips from the CEC at Kent Park. Actually we had one 2 weeks ago, but this one received better publicity. Six people joined me and saw a few birds during a 90' leisurely walk.
14 species (+1 other taxa) : 1 Canada Goose, 2 Red-tailed Hawk, 1 Solitary Sandpiper, 7 Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted), 1 Eastern Phoebe, 10 Blue Jay, 1 American Crow, 5 Black-capped Chickadee, 2 Tufted Titmouse, 1 White-breasted Nuthatch, 8 American Robin, 8 European Starling, 2 Common Yellowthroat, 1 warbler sp., 20 American Goldfinch Red Admiral, Monarch. Species numbers were probably down because of wind. The next midweek birdwalk at Kent Park will be 10/3 at 8:00 a.m. at the CEC. Good Birding, Rick Hollis rural North Liberty IA |
