Some continuation of yesterday's early spring birds were observed , especially in the Midwood where the ground was evident of DARK-EYED JUNCOS and some HERMIT THRUSHES. PALM WARBLERS seen in fewer numbers , some hanging out with CHIPPING SPARROW flocks, two separate ones observed today.
Speaking of CHIPPING, a small flock in the Sparrowbowl , between the Picnic and Tennis Houses, had one SAVANNAH SPARROW. Farther back on the back slope woods, a FOX SPARROW crept along stealthily on those sparse woods.
An enjoyable observation when Eni Falci ran into me at the Little Rock Arch, 3 YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERS on the same cherry tree seeping sap,right above the lower steps next to that small boulder bridge Little Rock Arch.
4 WOOD DUCKS continued in the Upper Pool.
