Recap - Rainbow Springs Birdwalk

12/26/2015

Comments

 
What a nice turn-out for this mornings stroll through one of the most beautiful places on earth, Rainbow Springs State Park!!!! We had 25 enthusiastic birders who were eager to see what the morning would offer.  The morning was a little too foggy to begin with.  This does not induce the insects to get active and therefore the birds don't have the incentive to get moving.  It was a little slow and even with the walk into the back area, the list did not get over 27 species.  But as we came back through the Butterfly Garden the sky lightened and an abundance of birds were found busily gleaning insects from a large oak.  There were at least 3 Pileated Woodpeckers, 3 Red-bellied Woodpeckers, 2 Downy Woodpeckers,3 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers and  4 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, The tree was also very  active with Yellow-throated, Pine, Yellow-rumped, and Black and White Warblers and Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers were many numbered.  A very nice ending to a slow morning.  The complete list can be viewed at this eBird link
