Birds seen and/or heard in Riis Park during a monitoring visit on Tuesday, July 14, 2020, 1:56 hours (early to mid morning)

Number of identified species:   20

Mostly sunny when I arrived with some high clouds, but becoming mostly cloudy by the end, slight breeze, upper 60s rising to mid 70s. I parked in the south lot, walked to the hillside grove and sanctuary/lagoon, then followed my usual meandering route counterclockwise around the west half of the park. The lawns and fields were dry with no puddles, and the lagoon level had not changed much since last visit. Most of the probable nesters were still present (except orioles), and Eastern Wood-Pewees were back after being absent for a couple of weeks. The sanctuary/lagoons had 14 bird species and the rest of the park 17 species.

I also saw two black squirrels at the north edge of the park, two Monarch butterflies, and a Red Admiral.

Canada Goose  46     There were 17 adults grazing on the upper field and 28 adults and one growing gosling on and around south lagoon.

Mallard  66     There were two mothers with medium-sized ducklings (broods of 3 and 5 ducklings. There rest were either adults or fully grown ducks hatched this year, but still traveling as families and not molting (about 15 of those in two groups).

Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon)  5     Two flyovers and three foraging on the parking lot.

Eurasian Collared-Dove  1     Flew over south lagoon, pursued by a male Red-winged Blackbird.

Chimney Swift  8     Overhead all over the park, but never more than three at a time (and that was over the lagoon).

Downy Woodpecker  2     Called and drummed in trees just north of the parking lot.

Eastern Wood-Pewee  2     One sang at the north edge of the park, and the other called by the lagoons.

Eastern Kingbird  1     Sang and called as it moved along the hillside and then to north lagoon.

Warbling Vireo  1     Sang near the parking lot (a new location).

Red-eyed Vireo  1     Singing in trees around south lagoon.

House Wren  1     Singing near the north edge of the count area.

European Starling  13     Flocking with robins and House Sparrows by the south backstop and on lawns by the hillside grove.

American Robin  50     On lawns and ball fields, and in mulberry trees. I did not record any singing.

House Sparrow  80     I saw at least one begging fledgling being fed. A couple were eating annual cicadas.

House Finch  1     Female in a mulberry tree.

American Goldfinch  2     Calling flyovers.

Chipping Sparrow  2     One sang as it moved from the hillside towards north lagoon, and another adult was foraging in trees near north lagoon. (I looked for a fledgling without success.)

Red-winged Blackbird  50     There were some still behaving as if still nesting, with three singers, a male chasing a female that left the nest, and a begging fledgling. However, there were also two groups that behaved as flocks, such as a dozen that landed together in vegetation around south lagoon and another 15 that were foraging on the lawn east of south lagoon as a flock.

Common Grackle  20     Actively foraging, somewhat dispersed flock with adults and juveniles on lawns around and east of the lagoons. Some were eating annual cicadas.

blackbird sp.  5     In trees and flying over.

Northern Cardinal  1     Called near the parking lot.

passerine sp.  7     Fast flyovers and poorly seen birds in mixed flocks.
