Christmas Bird Count - Friday Dec 20
We have tentatively scheduled our CBC in 2024 on Friday, December 20. Our count last year was successful and the weather was all right. Hope many of you can participate again this year. There will be more information later.
Saturday, November 9 7:30 AM Buck Creek State Park
We will meet at the parking lot north of the beach this morning. Duck season is closed now and we hope to see some ducks and other waterbirds. After checking the beach we will walk another trail. We will see what the weather looks like before deciding what might be interesting. Please contact Doug Overacker at cdoveracker @woh.rr.com to let him know you are coming or for additional information.

Warblers have mostly passed through the area. Lots of Yellow-rumped Warblers remain along with both species of kinglets. Ducks are starting to move into the area. Gadwalls and shovelers are both in Old Reid Park. We have also seen American Wigeons and Blue-winged Teal there. Ruddy Ducks, Ring-necked Ducks, and a few other ducks have shown up at Buck Creek State Park. Many sparrows have arrived including White-crowned, Swamp, and White-throated Sparrows.
