A dozen or so of us had a nice walk in the perfect 70 - 75 degree spring morning. We found a total of 62 species. Highlights included:
8 species of warbler: orange-crowned, yellow-rumped, yellow, American redstart, northern waterthrush, Nashville, palm, black-and-white. American bittern flushed from the reeds near the north viewing platform. After we walked past the bird returned to this area. Two great horned owlets, one standing on the nest and eyeing us intently, the other standing on a limb below the nest flexing its wings. Plus green heron, sharp-shinned hawk, tree, cliff, and barn swallows, marsh wren, ruby-crowned kinglet, white-throated, song, swamp, and American tree sparrows, pileated woodpecker, least flycatcher, gray catbird, Forster's tern, American kestrel, 9 kinds of duck. ----- Forwarded Message ----- >From: Vic Lewis <azvegas...@gmail.com> >To: MOU-NET@LISTS.UMN.EDU >Sent: Sunday, May 5, 2013 9:31 AM >Subject: [mou-net] Westwood Birdwalk > > >I will have a Birdwalk at Westwood nature Center Tuesday May 7th at 8:15 to >11:15 or so!!
