RECENT VISIT

This is a report of Eric’s monitoring visit to Columbus Park on Wednesday, April 26, 2017, 5:14 hours (early morning until almost noon).

Number of identified species:  47

Overcast to partly sunny, breezy with windy gusts, mid 60s to mid 70s. I walked around the lagoon and then followed the perimeter path around the rest of the park, with a side trip into Austin woods at the water feature (but not to central woods, south sanctuary, or around the lagoon). All three waterfalls had been turned on, and the lagoon level was a few inches higher than last time. I spent a lot of time picking through low-diversity warbler flocks and staring up into trees in hopes of finding silent passerines.

I heard single calls that sounded like Killdeer (over the golf course) and Solitary Sandpiper (by the lagoon), but I’m not going to count them. I also saw a Red Admiral butterfly.

Canada Goose  15     One pair had 4 small goslings on the lagoon, and the nest on the concrete pad I’ve been following was empty.

Wood Duck  11     Rough estimate, because they were constantly moving, including flying out over the golf course. Males out numbered females..

Mallard  7     At least six males and one female (but probably missed some).

Double-crested Cormorant  3     On the lagoon

Great Blue Heron  1     At ledge of peninsula prairie when I arrived.

Black-crowned Night-Heron  1     Roosting in a weeping willow

Cooper’s Hawk  1     I did not see a hawk on the nest this time, but I did hear on calling from about 100 feet north of the nest. (There are leaves expanding in front of the parking-lot view of the nest.)

Ring-billed Gull  70     There were 58 on the golf course when I arrived.

Herring Gull  1     With a dead fish on concrete pad

Caspian Tern  1     Briefly over the lagoon

Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon)  2

Mourning Dove  4     One sang behind the Refectory, two flew over, and one bathed in Interstate pond.

Chimney Swift  1     Heard flying high over Jackson St.

Red-bellied Woodpecker  1     Called on the peninsula

Downy Woodpecker  3

Hairy Woodpecker  2     One heard, one seen east of lagoon

Northern Flicker  3     One called. One flew from the pair of dead trees with lots of holes (but not the hole a flicker flew from last time).

Eastern Wood-Pewee  1     I guess this is early. I heard both parts of the song coming from trees that overhanging the lagoon, but I did not see the bird. I heard the first (rising) part twice and the second (falling) part once, (I did not see or hear any starlings nearby at that time.)

Great Crested Flycatcher  1     Called many times in Austin woods over a 20 minute interval

Warbling Vireo  2     Singing on the peninsula and in Austin woods

Blue Jay  2     Heard calls moving all over the park (and one flew north over the highway).

American Crow  1     Flew over the lagoon twice.

Northern Rough-winged Swallow  1     Over lagoon

Black-capped Chickadee  2

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher  2     Behind Refectory and on peninsula

Ruby-crowned Kinglet  2     Sang on the peninsula, and one seen in Austin woods.

American Robin  70     At least 15 sang. Largest flock was 10 on the southeast ball field at one point (not there later).

European Starling  40     Largest flock was at least 25 by the highway.

Northern Waterthrush  2     One sang and called near the water feature in AUstin woods. Later one called at the northeast corner of central woods.

Tennessee Warbler  1     With the Yellow-rumped flock in Austin woods

Orange-crowned Warbler  1     In lagoon woods

Nashville Warbler  2     Sang (and seen) east of the lagoon and in Austin woods. (Possibly a third heard in lagoon woods.)

Yellow Warbler  2     Singing behind the Refectory and on the peninsula.

Palm Warbler  30     I estimated 25 around the lagoon. At least 5 sang.

Yellow-rumped Warbler  40     Large concentration included about 25 in the wooded areas south and southeast of the Refectory and at least 10 in Austin woods near the water feature. At least 10 sang.

warbler sp. (Parulidae sp.)  6     Unidentified chips plus a possible Nashville that I could not be sure of.

Chipping Sparrow  1     Singing east of the lagoon

Field Sparrow  1     At the east edge of shed woods

White-throated Sparrow  1     Seen in Austin woods near the bus stop.

Savannah Sparrow  1     At the edge of the perimeter path near the SW ball field

Song Sparrow  7     Five sang, from the usual nesting spots. One carried nesting material (edge of peninsula prairie).

Lincoln’s Sparrow  1     On the ground in lagoon woods (including under Mayapples for a bit). I got a photo when it had trouble getting through a fence.

Northern Cardinal  11     Six sang.

Red-winged Blackbird  52     At least 20 sang.

Common Grackle  2     Flyovers

Brown-headed Cowbird  9     Two sang. One pair in courtship.

American Goldfinch  13     Seven sang.

House Sparrow  13

passerine sp.  1     High-pitched call

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: 191
