This morning, Jeanne and I led a trip to Spring Lake Park. There were 10 participants including us. Things were very quiet in general but we saw 50 species, some of which are:
@ Palm warbler - several @ Yellow-rumped Warbler - a couple @ Rose-breasted Grosbeak @ Baltimore Oriole @ Chimney Swift - on way into park @ Wild Turkey - two in field as we were driving into park @ Lesser Yellowlegs - at 140th St Marsh - about half the group went this way on the way home. @ American Pipit - at 140th Street Marsh. Nice looks through the spotting scope. @ Spotted Sandpipers - several at 140th street marsh @ least Sandpiper - at 140th stree marsh @ Pileated Woodpecker - a quick fly by that about 1/2 the group saw. @ Loggerhead shrikes - two at 140th street marsh, one feeding the other a small rodent @ Yellow-throated Vireo @ Blue-gray Gnatcatcher @ Northern Rough-winged Swallow - several flying low and calling @ Clay-colored Sparrow - several calling and one seen at 140th marsh @ Field Sparrow - several calling Rick Specht
