RECENT VISIT
This is a report of Eric’s monitoring visit to Columbus Park on Wednesday, April 11, 2018, 3:51 hours (early morning to early afternoon).
Number of identified species: 34
Sunny with some thin high clouds, breeze (stiff at times) from the west, lower 40s to lower 60s. I walked the parking lots edges, west side of the lagoon and peninsula, fenced field and east of lagoon, then followed the perimeter path around the golf course. (Because there were lots of golfers, I did not take any side trips to south sanctuary or elsewhere.) I checked the potential Cooper’s Hawk nest, but there were no hawks nearby.
I saw a coyote on the 1st fairway, and I experienced my first gnat swarm of the year..
Canada Goose 21 Included one continuing on a nest.
Wood Duck 23 On the lagoon (although some later flew).
Mallard 5 On or by lagoon.
Red-breasted Merganser 6 Two males, four females on the lagoon.
Pied-billed Grebe 1 On the lagoon.
Double-crested Cormorant 1 Adult. Flew in about a half hour after I arrived, then spent lots of time swimming on the lagoon.
Black-crowned Night-Heron 2 Mostly perched in trees and snags by and on the lagoon.
Red-shouldered Hawk 1 Immature. I heard calls, then saw it fly up from the fenced field with the Red-tailed immature and perch in nearby trees. After a few minutes they flew off together, headed northwest.
Red-tailed Hawk 1 Immature, hanging out with Red-shouldered Hawk again.
Ring-billed Gull 22 Initially on and just north of lagoon, then most flew off.
Herring Gull 2 Hung out on the concrete pad.
Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon) 7 Flock flew west along the south edge of the park.
Mourning Dove 4 Two flushed from near Central Ave, two more flushed from by Interstate pond.
Belted Kingfisher 2 One chased the other a couple of times.
Red-bellied Woodpecker 1 Calling in lagoon woods.
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 1 Adult male, seen north and south of lagoon woods.
Downy Woodpecker 3 One was drumming atop a dead branch in lagoon woods.
Northern Flicker 1 On the golf course.
Eastern Phoebe 2 One by lagoon, and one near Interstate pond. Both sang.
Tree Swallow 1 Flew low over the lagoon.
Brown Creeper 1 At least one, maybe two in hackberry grove by Council Ring.
Golden-crowned Kinglet 1 Calling behind the Refectory.
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 2 One behind the Refectory, the other by Interstate pond.
American Robin 165 I counted 105 on the golf course when I first arrived, and the rest were scattered around the park. At least 12 sang.
European Starling 4 On lawn north of Jackson. (I did not see them on the golf course today.)
Yellow-rumped Warbler 7 I only saw males. At least 2 sang.
Dark-eyed Junco 3 On lawn at north wall of field house. One sang.
Song Sparrow 6 Three sang, from usual nesting spots.
Northern Cardinal 6 Three sang.
Red-winged Blackbird 24 Only males seen, all bit a couple were on territory. At least 18 sang.
Brown-headed Cowbird 1 Singing by the parking lot.
Common Grackle 1 East of lagoon, sang briefly then flew west.
American Goldfinch 2 One sang.
House Sparrow 18
passerine sp. 2 Small birds poorly seen.

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.

Eric – This is great information. Thanks for your diligent hard work and careful species lists.

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.
Becki
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!
Eric
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
