A walk around the Visitor’s Center gave us good looks at White-throated Sparrows, Dark-eyed Juncos, White-crowned Sparrows, and Chipping Sparrows. A Swamp Sparrow called from the reeds across the street.
We next drove to the north end. Yellow-rumped Warblers were common. A late Eastern Towhee called from the brush. We all got good looks at a perched Field Sparrow. A Ruby-crowned Kinglet was in a nearby bush.
Next it was on to Guardian Park and a walk down the bike path. Several Golden-crowned Kinglets were in evidence. One Eastern Phoebe perched up for us. Carolina Wrens were singing all around us. At Horseshoe Cove we saw a Belted Kingfisher and heard a Brant. Many Northern Flickers were moving through.
Finally, at South Pond we found a large flock of American Black Ducks and Mallards. One immature Black-crowned Night Heron was at the edge of the pond. At the end of our walk, we were treated to a Northern Harrier flying low over the pond.
