I decided to make an evening visit to the park since my birding today was abortive (see earlier post). I didn’t expect a lot but as it turned out, I had a better response than expected and got a new FOS (Swainson’s Warbler). I was there about 90 minutes and saw 27 species which I think is not too bad considering the time of day.
Species seen or heard:
- Swainson’s Warbler *
- American Goldfinch
- Barn Swallow
- Blue Jay
- Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
- Carolina Wren
- Common Yellowthroat
- Cooper’s Hawk
- Eastern Bluebird

- European Starling
- Fish Crow
- Great Blue Heron
- Killdeer
- Mourning Dove
- Northern Cardinal
- Northern Mockingbird
- Red-bellied Woodpecker
- Red-shouldered Hawk
- Red-winged Blackbird
- Ring-billed Gull
- Summer Tanager
- Tufted Titmouse
