Christmas Bird Count - Friday Dec 20
We have 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. Please contact Doug Overacker at cdoveracker@woh.rr.com if you are interested. We will assign everyone to cover certain areas. Then you will report your results to Doug who will tally the results.
Bird Walks
We have ended our bird walks for the fall. The Christmas Bird Count will be on Friday, December 20th. We will start spring bird walks in February or March depending on the weather. Duck season is closed until December 7. Then it will be open through the rest of December and most of January. I will try to post interesting sightings on the website but you can also check ebird.org for information.
Recent Bird Sightings
Most of the winter birds have shown up. American Tree Sparrows have shown up in Old Reid Park and are probably in the prairies in Kirby Preserve. Gadwalls, Northern Shovelers, and Hooded Mergansers are in Old Reid Park. More ducks should move through the area it the weather ever gets a bit colder. We have seen a few ducks on the lake at Buck Creek State Park but they are distant. Grebes and loons have shown up in small numbers. More should show up later. Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers have been seen regularly in the area as have winter sparrows.
