At the Ag Expo 2009 today, I was the leader of a bird outing to Stillfork Swamp Preserve; there were 24 participants. The one mile shuttle service to the site was a hay wagon pulled by a tractor, how cool is that! Here is a list of the 25 species seen today: Canada Goose 1 Wood Duck 2 Blue-winged Teal 1 male Turkey Vulture 7 Killdeer 3 Mourning Dove 2 Great Horned Owl 1 Chimney Swift 6 Red-bellied Woodpecker 4 Downy Woodpecker 1 Empidonax Flycatcher 3 White-eyed Vireo 1 American Crow 4 Carolina Chickadee 3 Tufted Titmouse 5 White-breasted Nuthatch 2 Brown Creeper 1 Gray Catbird 4 European Starling 40+ Cedar Waxwing 8+ Wilson's Warbler 1 male Northern Cardinal 2 male Red-winged Blackbird 3 Eastern Meadowlark 2 American Goldfinch 3 Note: The only negative of the day was being in a no service area and missing the phone call from Robert Hershberger about the Northern Wheatear!! Maybe tomorrow!!
