Birds in the park — october 2019
From Jason Bonilla:
Hi all. We had our October bird survey this morning at Woodland Park with 24 species observed. There were several warblers around, Wilson's, Nashville, and American Redstart. We also got a look at the Great Horned Owl which was a little too close, and tucked away for a scope view, but was easy to see through binoculars. The full list is below. Our next survey will be on Saturday, November 2nd at 7:30 am.
