Sorry for the somewhat late post. We decided to take advantage of the sun
and ignore the wind to explore Prairie Oaks. Not a lot of birds, probably
due to the wind. Birds seen:
Turkey Vulture - 3-4 individuals seen soaring at various locations
Belted Kingfisher - 1 by Big Darby Creek Greenway bridge
RB Woodpecker - 1 heard by Big Darby Creek Greenway bridge
Am. Robin - 1 very noisy near Greenway path, 2-3 spotted in various trees
Waterfowl @Darby Bend Lake: 40+ Canada Geese, 10 Am. Coots
Coneflower Trail: 2 broad-winged hawks dive-bombing each other, Blue Jay -
1- (heard), Goldfinch - 3.
And one mystery bird observed in a tree next to creek off Coneflower
trail: dull brown back with streaked lighter breast, no other priminent
markings, no eye-ring. We consulted our Kaufmann guide thinking it might
be a fall warbler but could not settle on anything. Or perhaps an immature
Kinglet as it exhibited some flycatcher-like behaviors (but then we should
have seen an eye ring?). Suggestions welcome!
Good birding to all! Sharon
