Our monthly BirdWalk took us to Larchmont Reservoir this morning. Despite weather that was overcast and damp, 22 birders joined us to search for spring migrants. I added 9 new species for the year. In total we were rewarded with 43 species which included the following:
Birds of Prey: Osprey
Orioles: Baltimore, Orchard
Waterfowl: Canada Goose, Mallard, Ring-necked Duck, Cormorant
Shorebirds: Great Egret, Spotted Sandpiper, Green Heron, Black-crowned Night Heron
Blackbirds: Grackle, Starling, Red-winged Blackbird, Brown-headed Cowbird
Warblers: Yellow, Yellow-rumped, Redstart, Magnolia,
Woodpeckers: Flicker, Red-bellied
Others: Kingfisher, Robin, Cardinal, Catbird, Red-eye Vireo, Warbling Vireo, Phoebe, House Finch, Goldfinch, Barn Swallow, Tree Swallow, Rock Dove, Mourning Dove,
Heard Birds: As a result of this spring’s warm weather trees have leaved out earlier than usual. That make it difficult to actually see some of the birds. These birds were identified by their sound: Titmouse, Great-crested Flycatcher, Wood Thrush, Blue-headed Vireo, White-throated Sparrow, Common Yellowthroat, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Our next BirdWalk will be on the 1st Saturday of next month, June 2nd Join us if you can.
