OUR MOST RECENT VISIT

Here’s the list of birds I heard/saw in Columbus Park on Monday, November 30 (2.75 hours mid morning to early afternoon.)

Total number of species:  17

Canada Goose     300

Mallard     4

Cooper’s Hawk     1

Ring-billed Gull     3

Herring Gull     1

Rock Pigeon     10

Mourning Dove     2

American Crow     5

Black-capped Chickadee     2

Winter Wren     1

American Robin     1

European Starling     2

American Tree Sparrow     4

Dark-eyed Junco     10

Northern Cardinal     2

American Goldfinch     7

House Sparrow     2

Partly sunny, low 30s, breeze to windy from NW. I walked my usual route. A few workers and walkers.

The geese and Mallards were on the lagoon and its margins. The relatively small juvenile Cooper’s Hawk was behind the Refectory. I may have also heard a very faint Red-tailed Hawk calling high over the Refectory, but I couldn’t see it so didn’t count it. The Herring Gull was on the lagoon and the Ring-bills flying overhead. I searched again for the Great Horned Owl in its usual trees and others nearby with no luck. The Robin was in a treetop beside the pool. The Winter Wren was back among lagoon-side tree roots in peninsula prairie. Passerine concentrations were in the golf course sanctuary (Juncos and two of the Tree Sparrows) and in Austin meadow (Juncos, Goldfinches, and Chickadees). There were also two Tree Sparrows in lagoon woods.

Two Starlings were singing, as was one of the Goldfinches.

OUR LIFE LIST FOR COLUMBUS PARK

This is a list of all the bird species we have seen at Columbus Park since we started birding there in April, 2007.

Some bird species are seen year round in the Park, like Cooper’s Hawk, Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, Black-capped Chickadees, and American Goldfinches. Some species come for the summer, like Green Herons, Red-eyed Vireos, and Gray Catbirds. A few species come to spend the winter, like Merlin and Dark-eyed Juncos. But most of the species on this list migrate through in spring or fall.

Total number of species we have seen to date in Columbus Park: 155

Photos from Columbus Park:

Here are some photos of dueling Cooper’s Hawks taken in Columbus Park on November 5, 2009:

This photo was taken right after the juvenile Cooper's Hawk flew at the adult. (The juvenile is lower left, the adult upper right.)

The adult Cooper's Hawk on the upper right is settling down, but the juvenile is still displaying.
