A few days late, here is the tale of our Sat bird walk in Glen Helen.
It was a beautiful, cloudless morning. Crisp air, with the temperature in
the high forties. We started from Trailside Museum, where we had a
flyover cooper's hawk. Along Yellow Springs Creek, we found a couple late
hummingbirds, an immature rose-breasted grosbeak, ovenbird and multiple
Swainson's thrushes. A Louisiana waterthrush was singing intermittently
-- even at this late date.
Around Baldwin Pond, we found broad-winged hawk, brown thrasher,
white-eyed vireo, blackburnian warbler, field sparrow, towhee
On the Stagecoach Rd., we found a large mixed flock of cedar waxwing and
American robin going after the abundant ripe grapes. Blackburnian and
Tennessee warbler were among the birds intermingling with the flock.
