RECENT VISIT

This is a report of Eric’s monitoring visit to Columbus Park on Sunday, September 17, 2017, 4:36 hours (early to late morning).

Number of identified species:  30

Mostly cloudy early becoming sunny, breezy, upper 60s to mid 80s. I walked the parking lot, then the west side of the lagoon and the peninsula, then followed the perimeter route clockwise around the golf course, finishing up with the north and east sides of the lagoon and revisiting the peninsula. The lawns and golf course were really dry, and there was no water in the usual perimeter puddles.

I just saw one Monarch butterfly today.

Canada Goose  110     High count was from the very end of my visit. I did not see any markers.

Wood Duck  19

Mallard  30

Pied-billed Grebe  1     Still on the lagoon

Great Blue Heron  1     Immature, at edges of lagoon

Cooper’s Hawk  1     Immature, flew just west of the Red-tailed Hawk when it was on the chimney.

Red-tailed Hawk  1     Immature, on the Refectory chimney

Killdeer  1     Flew over the golf course, calling.

Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon)  4     Flyovers

Chimney Swift  35     There was a pretty big flock over the lagoon and nearby land areas, and many drank from the lagoon.

Downy Woodpecker  4

Hairy Woodpecker  1     On the peninsula

Northern Flicker  1     With robins and grackles on the lawn north of the field house gym

Eastern Wood-Pewee  1     Flycatching in lagoon woods

Blue Jay  2     Flew all over the park.

Black-capped Chickadee  6

White-breasted Nuthatch  1     Calling, north of Jackson St.

Swainson’s Thrush  9

American Robin  40     One sang. A flock of about 25 was first encountered in lagoon woods and later just north of the field house gym.

thrush sp.  3

Gray Catbird  1     Called in central woods.

European Starling  50     At least 10 along the south perimeter and at least 40 on the ground and in a very leafy tree just north of the field house gym.

American Redstart  1

Magnolia Warbler  4     Scattered widely through the park.

Blackpoll Warbler  1

Palm Warbler  1     At the east edge of central woods

warbler sp. (Parulidae sp.)  6     Unidentified chips and poorly seen in leafy trees.

Song Sparrow  1     At the east edge of central woods

Northern Cardinal  1

Common Grackle  50     Right after I arrived I saw a flock of at least 80 blackbirds in the southwest section of the golf course. All the ones I could see well were grackles (but I could not see all well). I also found a lone grackle near the field house.

blackbird sp.  30     Poorly seen members of the blackbird flock.

American Goldfinch  7

House Sparrow  60     At least 50 foraging on the ground just north of the field house gym.

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
