We had our monthly bird walk this morn -- scheduled at the end of the
month to try to pick up some migrants.  Much of the Glen was quiet,
although a (probable) Swainson's thrush came through the bird blind.
We also had a nice mixed flock of very skittish warblers on the rim
trail around Baldwin Pond.

I missed the first part of the hike -- expertly led by Ruth Lapp and
Ruth Paige, so I might be missing a few species.  That said, here is
what we found:

Cooper's hawk
Turkey vulture
Mourning dove
Ruby crowned hummingbird
Downy woodpecker
Red-belied woodpecker
Eastern wood pewee
Red-eyed vireo
Blue jay
Carolina chickadee
Tufted titmouse
White breasted nuthatch
Carolina wren
Swainson's thrush
American robin
Gray catbird
Magnolia warbler
Chestnut sided warbler
Yellow rumped warbler
Black and white warbler
Northern cardinal
Eastern towhee
Common grackle
Indigo bunting
American goldfinch

Our next bird walk will be Saturday September 11.  We'll start from
Grinnell Mill (at the intersection of Grinnell Rd. and Bryan Park Rd)
at 8 am.  Hopefully, fall migration will be in full swing!
