Bird Survey – July 2025

Urban Forest Monthly Survey
July 31, 2025
27 Species, 194 Individuals, 8 species with photos

Monthly Urban Forest bird survey. Overcast skies to sunny warming temps of 68 to 71 with light breezes gave a perfect opportunity for late summer birding and views of the lovely expanded planted areas. There is always something colorful in bloom to the delight of visitors and particularly Allen’s and Anna’s Hummingbirds.

Exotic species

Exotic species flags differentiate locally introduced species from native species.

Naturalized: Exotic population is self-sustaining, breeding in the wild, persisting for many years, and not maintained through ongoing releases (including vagrants from Naturalized populations). These count in official eBird totals and, where applicable, have been accepted by regional bird records committee(s).

Provisional: Either: 1) member of exotic population that is breeding in the wild, self-propagating, and has persisted for multiple years, but not yet Naturalized; 2) rarity of uncertain provenance, with natural vagrancy or captive provenance both considered plausible. When applicable, eBird generally defers to bird records committees for records formally considered to be of “uncertain provenance”. Provisional species count in official eBird totals.

Escapee: Exotic species known or suspected to be escaped or released, including those that have bred but don’t yet fulfill the criteria for Provisional. Escapee exotics do not count in official eBird totals.

Hide this Checklist

Hiding a checklist will exclude the taxa on it from all forms of eBird output that show a location (including bar charts, maps, and arrival/departure tables), but the observation will still be accessible to you, and will appear on your lists. It will be considered not public in the eBird database since we cannot approve bird records without accurate location information. Although we understand that some checklists need to be excluded from eBird’s public output due to privacy concerns or other issues, we strongly recommend against this unless absolutely necessary. Are you sure you want to hide these observations? Hide Checklist Cancel
