West Creek Reservation Field Trip

Sunday, October 18th, 2015 at 9:30am
Results: 12 birders and 24 species
12 birders braved some wintery type weather in the form of rain, sleet and snow to
walk the paths of West Creek Reservation in search of late fall migrants.
Although the inclement weather lasted for more than half of our walk, it did brighten
up a bit as we began circling the open area of the park. Here we encountered several
flocks of American Goldfinches darting back and forth across the path. The birds
seemed to be waking from the early morning weather as we combed the wetland area
with Song Sparrows, White-throated Sparrows and a pair of Turkey Vultures
appearing.
The highlight of the walk was a distant, calling Barred Owl as we headed to the
Watershed Center to tally our species for the day.
