Friday's bird list comes to me from many sources and different times throughout the day. More people looking for birds as they move about West Campus is a GOOD thing.
Today's contributing birders: Nick, Maureen, Sue and Lynn
Today's birds:
Wild Turkey
Canada Goose
Ring-billed Gull
Red-tailed Hawk
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Mourning Dove
Eastern Phoebe
Cedar Waxwing
Mimus polyglottos, Northern Mockingbird http://meggitymegs.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/northern20mockingbird.jpg
Northern Mockingbird
American Robin
European Starling
American Crow
Blue Jay
American Goldfinch
Song Sparrow
White-throated Sparrow
Dark-eyed Junco
In my experience, the mockingbird can often be found perched on the outer branches of a tangle of brambles, and usually facing the sun. They will sit rather quietly, and sometimes not even fly off - I passed within 2 meters of today's "mocker". It just cocked it's head and watched me walk by.
