Spring Bird Walk

3/26/2017

0 Comments

 
Overview: Enjoy early spring birding in beautiful Bedford Reservationi.  Many different habitats will reveal new arrivals such as Eastern Phoebe, Eastern Towhee, Fox Sparrow and Bald Eagle.  Beginners are welcome.  Some binoculars are available for loan.

What a great outing!  We enjoyed much better than predicted weather as rain was in the forecast.  We didn't see a drop and ended with a sunny and warm spring day.  We covered just over three miles following this route.

Out list of birds was quite reasonable for a March day.  We only tallied one bird from the four that I included in the description, Eastern Phoebe.  However, that bird gave quite a few great looks with a pair by the Hemlock Creek bridge, probably starting to nest underneath.  I shared my 2006 nest photo collage from Tinker's Creek State Nature Preserve.

Throughout the hike, Song Sparrows were plentiful, including a ten count moving away from us by the largest Circle Emerald pond.  Those were seen just after we spooked a Wood Duck pair from the pond edge.  Overhead at the field were Turkey Vultures and a Red-shouldered Hawk.  Near the Button Road Hill, several Golden-crowned Kinglets flitted around, but didn't provide many cooperative looks.

Thanks to Frank Comodeca for taking these quality pictures during the hike (click the image below).

I hope to see everyone on the Spring Bird Walks birding series.  The details are posted here, or see my full Nature Calendar.
