On this beautiful Sunday morning, twenty-two birders turned out for a
Wye Island visit that was led by Danny Poet. It seemed as if lots of birds
were around throughout the morning. A total of fifty-six species was
recorded. After the birding, most of the group adjourned to the home of
Erney and Margaret Maher for a delicious brunch.
Birding highlights:
Tundra Swan - family group of four - first of the season for many of
our group
American Pipits - a flock of at least 10 and perhaps as many as 20
gave suitable views and provided life birds for several of our group
Winter Wren
Ring-necked Pheasant - seen very briefly, but heard by many of the
group
Horned Lark
Meadow Lark
Palm Warbler (yellow race)
Purple Finch
Ducks - Bufflehead, Black, Ruddy and Mallard
Bald Eagles - 2
Northern Harrier
Cooper's Hawk
Kestrel
Red-tailed Hawk
Sparrows - Song, White-throated, Field, Chipping and Junco
