Highlights from our May 24th Bird Walk
There was perfect weather on the last walk and eight birders helped to listen and spot resident nesting birds and migrants passing through. A singing Black-headed Grosbeak welcomed the group to the Soos Creek Trailhead. Bird song seemed to be everywhere as they noticed several Cedar Waxwings and a Common Yellowthroat.
There were repeated views of a Black-throated Gray Warbler in the treetops. Two Red-breasted Sapsuckers took turns entering and exiting their nest hole! The chicks inside must have been young, as no heads were visible peeking out. Then some Male Western Tanagers were spotted through a scope and looked as handsome as you'd imagine.
Next came a mother Mallard, with three ducklings, marching along the paved path and into the creek. Olive-sided and Western Flycatchers were heard and at the end of the walk was a wonderful view of a Western Wood-Pewee. At the end of the outing was the happiest of sightings - A Brown Creeper was caught foraging in it's special way. It was a great day to see and hear over 39 species.
