I was asked to lead a Bird Walk/Talk for the Holiday Camp for kids at Bill
Sadowski Park. The kids were great. They seemed very interested as I told them
how enjoyable it is to go bird watching. I ask them questions about birds they
have seen and like to see. They answered with great enthusiasm. I showed them
photos that I had taken at Bill Sadowski this year and then at 10 am this
morning we went looking for birds.



As a group we saw:



Cardinal

Blue Jay

Palm Warbler

Prairie Warbler

Yellow Rump

Great Crested Flycatcher

Eastern Wood Pewee

Blue-headed Vireo

Muscovy Ducks

Little Blue Heron

Great Egret

Spot-breasted Oriole

White Ibis

Mockingbird

Common Yellow Throat

Ruby Throated Hummingbird

and 100's of mostly Turkey Vultures and some Black Vultures moving to the SW in
a long line.

Mixed in were a couple of Swainson's hawks, Red-tailed Hawk and Short-tailed
hawk.



I probably wouldn't have seen this sight if I wouldn't have said yes to share
with the kids.



Thank you, Barbara and staff for inviting me to join you this morning.
