Birds on Betsy Bell Hill
I went for a walk on the above-named local landmark on Friday morning, and saw a fair number of passerine species. It was warmer than usual, which may have accounted for the low number of warblers. I was surprised by the absence of any birds from the flycatcher family. Highlights:
- Blue jays (many, loud)
- Flickers
- Downy woodpeckers (M, F)
- Hairy woodpeckers (M)
- Ravens (2)
- Black and white warbler (F/J)
- Blackpoll warbler (F/J)
- Black throated green warbler (F/J)
- Red-eyed vireo
- White-breasted nuthatches
- Titmice (many, loud)
- Chickadees (many, loud)
