Bird Walk Notes

SPRING BIRD WALK AT THOMPSON PARK (MAY 22, 2008)

Twelve of us met at Thompson Park in Lincroft at 6 PM for a walk. After a week of cold and rainy weather, we finally got clear skies, but it remained cool and windy. We walked the area around the parking lot and found:

An Eastern Bluebird near its nest box.
A group of Eastern Kingbirds was spotted near the trail.
A Warbling Vireo was singing, but we didn’t see it.
Barn Swallows flew over the field.
Chipping Sparrows were heard singing from the parking lot.

We next went to Martin houses.

House Sparrows were living in some of the apartments
We finally saw a Purple Martin leaving a nest.
Tree Swallows were nesting nearby.
More Eastern Bluebirds were also there.

We then walked the trails near Marlu Lake.

A male Orchard Oriole perched up and sang.
We got great looks at Baltimore Orioles.
We also saw a number of Yellow Warblers.
A Great Blue Heron flew by.
A number of Indigo Buntings were singing
A Field Sparrow was seen on the path.
A distant Eastern Meadowlark was heard.
There was a Spotted Sandpiper by the lake.

We ended the evening with a Common Yellowthroat and more Eastern Bluebirds. It was a fun evening.
