Bird Survey – August 2023
Urban Forest Monthly Survey
August 31, 2023
31 Species, 271 Individuals
Lena Hayashi, Betty Kanne (eBirder), Dave and Sharon Telford, Jim Kendall, and Jim Currie were the surveyors. We began at 7:30 AM. It was a humid, initially overcast day in the mid-70s. The species count continues to be low this month now that breeding season is over, and most birds stop singing and molt their feathers. The year-round residents are still here, just quiet and hiding.
We did enjoy a noisy family of Hooded Orioles that come here to breed but will be migrating south soon. Also, we were all glad to see an American Kestrel as we were finishing our survey. He perched on the sign reading, “Environmentally Sensitive Area DO NOT ENTER Stay on Trail.” He is hunting and many ground-feeding birds are the reasons why!
Below are the species and their numbers. Scroll through the checklist below to enjoy photos taken by the photographers.
