Beginning of 2014 Fall Bird Walks

Today we had our first bird walk for the 2014 Fall season.  We are beginning to see blackbirds flock up, but we did not see anything in regards to flocks of neotropical migrants.  The following is a list of birds we did see:   Tufted Titmouse, Chickadee, Gray catbird, Great Egret, Northern mockingbird, Red-eyed vireo, Carolina wren, Common grackle, Red-bellied woodpecker, Downy woodpecker, Northern flicker, Red-winged blackbird, American robin, Northern cardinal, American crow and Hairy woodpecker.

Interestingly, Dr. Jean Boal did find a very young Cedar Waxwing outside of a late season nest.
