Second Saturday Bird Walk

September 12, 2015

Leaders:  Bill Deininger, Dave Graskemper

7 Birders, 31 Species

Rainy day birding, with a bit of wading on the flooded paths.  The wetland closest to Frostville hosted more than 70 Wood Ducks, while in the field nearby were 50 American Goldfinches.  The pond by the Nature Center parking lot had a Pied-billed grebe.  Swainson's Thrushes joined flocks of American Robins.  Black-capped Chickadees followed Dave Graskemper for a chance to eat sunflower seeds from his hand.
