Expect to see: Bobolink, Eastern Meadowlark, Eastern Bluebird, Savannah Sparrow, Field Sparrow, Killdeer, Tree Swallow, Barn Swallow, Downy and Hairy Woodpecker, Red Bellied Woodpecker, Northern Flicker and Wood Thrush.
We also may possibly see: Scarlet Tanager, Indigo Bunting, Baltimore Oriole, Yellow bellied Sapsucker, Pileated woodpecker, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Brown Thrasher, Norther Mockingbird and Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
This is during peak spring migration so we hope to see a variety of migratory warblers, vireos and flycatchers! There will also be familiar favorites such as American Goldfinch, Northern Cardinal, Black-capped Chickadee, Song Sparrow, Blue Jay, Red-winged Blackbird and American Robin. Migrant raptors are a possibility as well!
