RECENT VISIT

This is a report of Eric’s monitoring visit to Columbus Park on Saturday, June 16, 2018, 3:10 hours (early to mid morning).

Number of identified species:  32

Mostly cloudy then clearing to mostly sunny, breezy (from south), upper 60s to upper 70s. Prior to the Stewardship/It’s Your Park Day, I walked almost all of my usual summer route: Parking lot edges, west side of lagoon, peninsula, fenced field, perimeter path clockwise around the golf course (but not far around Interstate pond or through the break in the fence), and north and east sides of the lagoon (hurrying through the honey locust grove to meet up with the Natural Areas Steward). About a third of the serviceberries and many mulberries were ripe. There were puddles on the golf course. Potential breeders/visitors not found today: Black-crowned Night-Heron, killdeer, flicker, any swallows, crow, Blue Jay, House Wren, Orchard Oriole.

Canada Goose  17     Families with 2 large and 7 smaller goslings, plus 4 additional adults (all in one big group).

Wood Duck  15     I saw female with 5 ducklings on the lagoon and later on Interstate pond. I also saw 3 additional females.

Mallard  35     Included females with 5 small, 10 larger, and 7 even larger ducklings, at least 9 males (several molting), and one lone female.

Great Blue Heron  1     Adult at the west edge of the lagoon (must have flown in when I wasn’t looking).

Green Heron  1     Perched in the dead ash by Refectory pool, calling.

Cooper’s Hawk  3     Adult fed at least two fledglings that seemed to be starting to grow flight feathers (just dark marks on future wings).

Ring-billed Gull  95     I counted 82 on the golf course and more than 10 others in the air. All looked to be adults.

Herring Gull  1     With Ring-billed Gulls on the main section of golf course.

Caspian Tern  2     Two adults patrolling over the lagoon.

Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon)  1     Flew over south edge of park.

Mourning Dove  1     Perched in the dead ash by Refectory pool for a long time (more than 1.5 hours).

Chimney Swift  15     As many as 8 over the lagoon at once.

Downy Woodpecker  2     One’s calls sounded like a fledgling’s.

Great Crested Flycatcher  2     Calling/singing in Austin woods and on the peninsula.

Eastern Kingbird  2     Seen atop a dead tree along Jackson and in peninsula prairie.

Warbling Vireo  6     Five sang in the usual spots.

Red-eyed Vireo  1     Singing at the north end of Austin woods.

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher  1     I heard and saw at least one in the honey locusts just north of the gym, but did not have time to look for more.

American Robin  40     At least 10 sang, and there were several fledglings. Many adults visited mulberry and serviceberry trees.

Gray Catbird  4     None sang. Called in trees just south of lagoon woods, shed woods, along the south perimeter path, and in Austin woods.

European Starling  90     Flock of 40 in a dead tree plus many smaller flocks (5-8) on lawns and in mulberry trees.There were many fledglings, but most seemed pretty independent. There was one group of 5 fledglings gathered around a hole in a tree, and I will assume they are recently fledged.

Cedar Waxwing  2     Calling in treetops.

Common Yellowthroat  1     Sang once in shed woods.

Yellow Warbler  3     I heard them singing in lagoon woods, shed woods, and at Interstate pond, then heard one again on the peninsula (which I will assume was the lagoon woods bird).

Song Sparrow  7     Four sang (but not from north sanctuary). In peninsula prairie there was a singing male while a probable female carried a caterpillar and at least two fledglings made “tink” calls in the surrounding vegetation.

Northern Cardinal  7     Sang in central woods, lagoon woods, and Austin woods (2).

Indigo Bunting  1     Sang persistently from north sanctuary/central woods.

Baltimore Oriole  4     I saw a male oriole gathering food by the lagoon and a second male sang near interstate pond. I also saw a parent (possibly the same male) visit the nest and heard at least two nestlings calling as they were fed.

Red-winged Blackbird  65     At least 10 sang, a female carried nestling material, and I saw at least one recent fledgling.

Common Grackle  6

American Goldfinch  4     Calling flyovers.

House Sparrow  2

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

    Eric – Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. I think I have seen your name over at IBET? Anyway, I look forward to seeing what you-all are seeing in our neighborhood! A couple years back I did a field trip at Columbus Park with the COS and was amazed at what was there. My skills are intermediate so it’s nice to have experts nearby to keep me on the rails!

    All the best-

    Dave

    Here’s the link to Dave’s blog post about Columbus Park birds: http://osagegroup.blogspot.com/2009/01/hawk-its-back-and-i-saw-it-again.html

    Dave’s referring (I think) to the “Underbirded Parks” trips that the Chicago Ornithological Society (COS) runs once or twice a year in Chicago’s westside parks (like Columbus and Douglas). You can check their field trip page to see what’s coming up this year: http://www.chicagobirder.org/field-trips.

    Congratulations on a fine display of birding data.

    Citizen Science at it’s best.

    Beautiful site, guys–really amazing data! Went back to Columbus this afternoon after I talked to you all and saw a black-throated blue and several magnolias. What a fun day! Your list has inspired me to get to Columbus more often.

    Eric and Aaron, I’ve been following your blog for the past 6 months or so and am just amazed at the amount of birdlife at Columbus Park. I’ve been commuting through there for the past 30 years and was completely oblivious. Thanks for what you are doing; I’ve added a bunch of birds to my “life list!” I did see a male red breasted merganser there a couple of weeks ago at the time you we seeing his “wife.” More to the point of this note: This morning (4/24/13 at 7 AM) there was a beautiful pair of northern shovellers paddling around in the flooded baseball field. Right up by the fence, so absolutely no doubt about it. . You should check them out (and add them to your personal Columbus list!) Thanks again for what you do. Ken Boyer (a fellow Oak Parker…kenneth_m_boyer@rush.edu.

      Thanks, Ken!
      We saw the shovelers, too. Species number 187 for our Columbus Park list!

        Its been 5 months since this monumental observation of mine. Have had a few since, but nothing that you guys haven’t seen. Question for you: How the heck does one access the “Interstate pond?” I crawled though some pretty tangled swamp to try to get in there one afternoon–ultimately to no avail. Is there a secret pathway in there? Thanks. Keep up the good work. Ken B

        Ken, Interstate pond is on the golf course, just west of the southwest corner of the newly rebuild ball fields. The golf course workers all know me, so they sort of look the other way when I walk around the pond. I walk through the tangle of weeds, vines, and fallen branches at the southwest corner of the pond (which covers my lower legs with spiny seeds this time of year). There is a small opening there before you get to the mowed grass. From there I peer through the trees at the edge of the pond until I’m certain there are no golfers at the tee on the east side of the pond. When the coast is clear, I walk to the north edge of the pond, where I can get a clear view of both the open water and the inner edges of the cattails. That’s where I saw the Sora from, two days ago. Of course, I’ve done that a couple of hundred times, and that was the first time I’ve seen a Sora at that location. Walking back I also take care to avoid all golfers.
        By the way, have you checked out eBird’s new Hotspot Explorer? They have a page that gives access to ALL the eBird data that birders have contributed for Columbus Park: http://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L108479

    Thanks. I’ll try it. Previously I didn’t see your “small opening.” I’ll try Hotspot Explorer. What I usually do is look up something common on e-bird, which will get me to the “common bird species map of the US.” Then zoom in to Columbus Park. That will give me your lists as well as others. Yours, however, are by far the best!!! Ken B
