Hey all,

We had some luck with raptors and a few passerines while working in the vendor area at the Fairchild Birdfest today.

The following species were tallied:

Wood Stork
Double-crested Cormorant
Anhinga
White Ibis
Black Vulture
Turkey Vulture
Osprey
Red-shouldered Hawk
Broad-winged Hawk
Short-tailed Hawk (dark morph)
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Merlin
Peregrine Falcon
Blue Jay
Fish Crow
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Northern Mockingbird
American Redstart
Yellow Warbler
Prairie Warbler
Northern Cardinal
Common Grackle

Tomorrow we’ll put a real effort at it and see where it goes. If you are at the fest, come by and say hello and help find some birds for the day list :)
It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. The Birdfest is on again tomorrow, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. Come out and enjoy the wonderful gardens.

Nature is Awesome
