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, October 19 8:00 AM Leadingham Prairie
Duck season starts in our area on this date so we will be going to an area with no hunting. We will meet at the parking area near the intersection of Spangler Road and Union Road. Apparently the trails will be dry but some areas haven't been mowed so be prepared for weeds. It would be best to wear something slick that prickly seeds won't stick to. We should see a few species of sparrows along with a few other late migrants. This is one of the best areas to see Rusty Blackbirds. If we finish this walk early we may visit somewhere else before driving home. Please contact Doug Overacker at cdoveracker @woh.rr.com to let him know you are coming or for additional information.
Recent Bird Sightings
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. Many sparrows have arrived including White-crowned and White-throated Sparrows.
