While it was not the sunny solstice evening hoped for, that did not stop a group of hearty birders from enjoying a stroll around Allemansratt Park’s Anderson Peninsula on June 20th.  It was baby bird season and goslings and ducklings were parading on the lake, a family of Baltimore Orioles were spotted, and a pair of Green Herons made several passes overhead.  A total of 14 species were observed despite the weather:

  • Canada Goose
  • Wood Duck
  • Great Blue Heron
  • Green Heron
  • Eastern Kingbird
  • Black-capped Chickadee
  • Barn Swallow
  • House Wren
  • European Starling
  • American Goldfinch
  • Song Sparrow
  • Baltimore Oriole
  • Red-winged Blackbird
  • Yellow Warbler
