Results of Del Norte Birdwalk

[mvjo...@gmail.com]

We had a wonderful morning in Del Norte along the Riverwalk Trail. A total of 6 ladies enjoyed the birding and we even had one gal from Colorado Springs.

 

We enjoyed sharpening our birding skills by seeing and hearing birds. We listened to songs, even though it is fall migration and birds are more subdued. We also practiced spotting birds and describing them when we saw them. Some of the highlights included:

 

Gray Catbird....numerous in the thick willow habitat.

Yellow Warbler

Red-naped Sapsucker

Williamson’s Sapsucker

Downy Woodpecker

Flicker, Red-shafted

Song Sparrow

Western Wood-pewee

American Goldfinch

BC and Mtn Chickadees

Many American Robins

and many persons “favorite” Black-billed Magpies.

 

and  a fawn Mule Deer suckling on its mother! What a sight! 

 

We ended up with about 25 species for the morning. Great day out and about....
