This is a new park, with a variety of habitats. A prairie area has been planted, and is in the early stages of development. The East-Central Audubon chapter co-hosted a bird walk this morning with park staff. Seen were the following: Here's the list. I've tried to annotate it to some extent. green heron ring-necked pheasant - heard only, known to nest here rock pigeon mourning dove yellow-billed cuckoo ruby-throated hummingbird red-bellied woodpecker pileated woodpecker western-wood-pewee Acadian flycatcher willow flycatcher eastern phoebe tree swallow barn swallow cedar waxwing house wren gray catbird - carrying food for young northern mockingbird - probable, heard only brown thrasher - probable, heard only eastern bluebird wood thrush American robin tufted titmouse white-breasted nuthatch blue jay American crow European starling white-eyed vireo - two heard red-eyed vireo house finch American goldfinch yellow warbler common yellowthroat yellow-breasted chat chipping sparrow field sparrow song sparrow northern cardinal indigo bunting red-winged blackbird common grackle Baltimore oriole Total: 42 species I highly recommend this new park. Our walk did not include all the diverse habitats, nor the 25-foot waterfall. I want to return soon. I foresee a fantastic bird list for the combined areas of Honey Run Park.
