Greenstone Hollow Bird Walk Report

['Chris Fisher' via AllHAS]

Hi Everyone - we had 15 folks show up for the bird walk/property tour at Greenstone Hollow this morning. We had a beautiful day for the walk but the birding was on the quiet side. However with some sharp eyes in the group we managed to come up with 24 total species. We had good looks several times of Eastern Phoebes and lots of Blue Jays, Cedar Waxwings and a Northern Flicker. Other highlights included a Black-and-white Warbler on the south side of the road and at the very end of the trip as we returned from the north side, we had wonderful looks at a cooperative American Redstart and not so wonderful looks at a very shy Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Here’s our bird list.

2 Mourning Doves
1 Turkey Vulture
1 Red-shouldered Hawk
3 Red-bellied Woodpeckers
1 Downy Woodpecker
1 Northern Flicker
3 Eastern Phoebes
15 Blue Jays (probably more, but they kept flying back and forth and all around so it was hard to tell)
1 American Crow
5 Black-capped Chickadees
5 Tufted Titmice
1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet
1 White-breasted Nuthatch
2 Carolina Wrens
6 Gray Catbirds
2 American Robins
20 Cedar Waxwings
4 American Goldfinch
1 White-throated Sparrow
2 Song Sparrows
50 Common Grackles
1 Black-and-white Warbler
1 American Redstart
