Bob Yukich lead our April 29th walk at Colonel Samuel Smith Park. Strong northerly winds overnight resulted in few new spring migrants in the park. Many of the migrants in the park were in survival mode: sheltering from the wind and trying to find food wherever they could. This produced several large flocks of swallows huddling on the ground. We missed many of the species typical at this time of year, but still managed to find a total of 53 species.

Here’s the full list of what we saw:


		Barn Swallow Cliff Swallow Black-capped Chickadee Red-breasted Nuthatch Winter Wren Ruby-crowned Kinglet Hermit Thrush American Robin European Starling Nashville Warbler Yellow Warbler Palm Warbler Yellow-rumped Warbler Chipping Sparrow Dark-eyed Junco White-crowned Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Savannah Sparrow Song Sparrow Northern Cardinal Red-winged Blackbird Common Grackle Brown-headed Cowbird House Finch Purple Finch American Goldfinch House Sparrow
	Canada Goose Mute Swan Gadwall Mallard Redhead Greater Scaup Lesser Scaup Long-tailed Duck Bufflehead Red-breasted Merganser Common Loon Red-necked Grebe Double-crested Cormorant Killdeer Ring-billed Gull Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon) Mourning Dove Chimney Swift Downy Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Eastern Kingbird Blue Jay American Crow Northern Rough-winged Swallow Tree Swallow Bank Swallow
