Field Trip Sunday, April 14, 2013
Brookside Reservation and West Park Cemetery
Leader: Tom Romito
8 birders, 34 species total
Brooklyn Centre Naturalists joined WCAS for this bird walk. Northern
Flicker was the bird of the day at Brookside and Yellow-bellied
Sapsucker at West Park Cemetery.
At Brookside we walked the new butterfly trail by the Ridge
Road entrance, down to the new Japanese Garden.
Many Robins hunted on the ball fields. Chilly at dawn, the
day turned sunny.
