I slogged around the Coyote Trail at Highbanks MetroPark and the Great
Horned Owl Trail at Shale Hollow - both looping around upland fields and
ravine heads - and found birding teetering on the edge of winter. (Nearly)
all the leaves were down, and the skies were gray....... But there were
some interesting birds, including:
Swans - a trio of birds looking like Trumpeters were at the Dragonfly
day-camp pond at Highbanks. 2 of the 3 were tucked in, but the one
standing was a massive bird with a large dark triangular bill.
Flickers - 7-8 were at Highbanks and another 1-2 were at Shale Hollow
Blue Jays - still late movement - you could even see small flocks moving
south across the fields in both parks. I had 15+ at Highbanks and another
5-6 at Shale Hollow.
Sparrows - Highbanks had 1 Swamp Sparrow, along with the expected flocks of
White-throateds and Songs. Shale Hollow was even better, with its planted
prairie having Tree, Field, Fox(2), as well as the expected White-throats,
Songs, and Juncos
