Observations by mdpalmer

House finches were in the bushes right near the chickadees.

Saw lots of Gulls everywhere. Probably over 15 seen throughout the walk

Black-capped chickadees were in the bushes walking to the beach

A pair of mallards in the water. Slightly far away hard to fully identify. Male looked as if had a green head

Flock of Geese flying overhead

About 6 Cedar Waxwings in tree right near the parking lot at Leddy

There were many starlings on the power line. Always very noisy.

A vibrant bluebird was flying from outside the woods to a nearby fence post.

I heard these more than I saw them. I heard at least 2 separate nuthatches; however, only physically saw 1.

One downy woodpecker flew to a near by tree were it sat for several minutes.

There were many house finches in a bush, at one point they got slightly aggressive towards one another.

4 Mourning Doves were seen, they were very active in their calls.

There was a large flock of american goldfinches. There had to be 10 or more finches at once. Some were vibrant yellow while others were more dull.

There were a flock of black-capped chickadees in the Lilac Bush that has just began to bud along the forest edge. At least 8 different chickadees spotted.

Driving back from Philo at about 3pm saw 2 Canadian Geese by the pond near the golf course eating grass.

Went on a lovely bird walk up Mount Philo this afternoon. I departed at about 2 pm. Woods were rather quiet today.

There were crows which I also just heard at first and did not actually see one until I was almost done with my walk.

At first I just heard the call. I was unsure as to if it was red-breasted or white-breasted. About 20 minutes into my walk I saw a red-breasted nuthatch perched up rather high in a tree.

There were Chickadees all throughout the woods. Not only did I see them but I also heard them during the duration of my walk.
