Yesterday I saw an unusual American Robin on the west side of the entrance road where the pedestrial trail crosses the road (from the nature center, it would be the second trail crossing the entrance road if you are heading north). The chin and throat, ear patch and crown were all snowy white. The forehead was black and there was a distinct black eye line. Even if the bird has its back to you, you can detect the bright white crown. A complete list of birds I saw, mostly on trail from the nature center to the pond: Turkey Vulture Canada Goose Wood Duck Mallard Northern Shoveler Redhead Cooper's Hawk Rock Pigeon Mourning Dove Red-bellied Woodpecker Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Downy Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Northern Flicker Pileated Woodpecker (along edge of pipeline area) Eastern Phoebe Blue Jay American Crow Tree Swallow Carolina Chickadee Tufted Titmouse Red-breasted Nuthatch (feeder at pond) White-breasted Nuthatch Ruby-crowned Kinglet Eastern Bluebird (pipeline area, very birdy yesterday) Hermit Thrush American Robin European Starline Yellow-rumped Warbler (lots) Eastern Towhee Chipping Sparrow Field Sparrow (singing atop nesting box in field) Fox Sparrow (in brush below feeder at pond) White-throated Sparrow Dark-eyed Junco Northern Cardinal Red-winged Blackbird Brown-headed Cowbird House Finch American Goldfinch House Sparrow __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
