we found several species now passing through the Arb. Here’s a list of what we saw today:

American Crow
American Goldfinch (nearly in full yellow summer plumage!)
American Robin
Black-capped Chickadee
Brown Creeper
Brown Thrasher (at least two within earshot of the Interpretive Center)
Cedar Waxwing
Chipping Sparrow
Common Grackle
European Starling
Golden-crowned Kinglet
Mourning Dove
Northern Cardinal
Northern Flicker
Red-winged Blackbird
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Song Sparrow

The next birdwalk is scheduled for Tuesday, May 6, at 4:30. Join me, won’t you?
