(Bird Walk Postponed) Come Join Us and See New Spring Migrants!

Due to predicted rainy weather for Saturday, May 10, the bird walk is postponed. Please stay tuned for announcement of a new date!

Last Thursday (1 May) we spent a portion of the morning birding in Luria and Fairview Park and were rewarded with seeing three recent spring migrants to our area!

We heard the squeaky wheel song of the Black and White Warbler and found him on a low branch near the paved trail of Fairview Park.

He climbed on the lower tree branches looking underneath them for insects.

Later we heard high up in the tree canopy the distinctive call of the Red-Eyed Vireo which sounds like: "Here I am...where are you?"

I managed to get these photos very high up, so I apologize for the quality.

You may be able to see in the bottom photo the dark streak that runs through its eyes.

In the sale area and way high up in the canopy we saw an American Redstart. Again, sorry for the quality of the photo.

The American Redstart flaps and spreads its wings to startle insects so it can eat them.

We were also in Luria Park on Monday afternoon, and despite the thick cloud cover we saw a Ruby Throated Hummingbird and Bluebirds. Spring migration is at its peak and we would love for you to join us, Dan and Beth Fedorko,  on a birding walk in Luria and Fairview Park beginning at 7:45 a.m. on Saturday, May 10. Just meet us in our driveway with your binoculars! Who knows what spring migrants we will see!

Cheers and Happy Birding!~~Dan and Beth Fedorko
