Each year I start my bird count over. In 2014 I photographed 58 birds. I hope to improve that number in 2015. Today we went on our first bird watching walk in 2015 and saw 7 birds!
Here they are:
#1 Pileated Woodpecker
#2 Red Bellied Woodpecker
#3 Cooper’s Hawk
#4 Hairy Woodpecker
#5 Cardinal
#6 Northern Flicker
#7 American Robin
Bird #57 for the year is the Black-and-white Warbler. We were taking a walk through the Olmsted Woods at the National Cathedral when I saw this bird and was so excited to snap some pictures of it. I was excited because it makes bird #57 for the year which passes my total for last year of 56. Yay!
I’ve photographed a few new birds that I haven’t added to my list yet this year. I am up to 55 birds so far this year. I need to get out and find more birds!
#55 Ruby-throated Hummingbird
#54 Grey Catbird
#53 Eastern Kingbird
This morning I went to Riverbend Park to do some more bird watching. As with other recent park visits, I saw lots and lots of birds I’ve already photographed. I did see two warblers that I’d not seen or photographed before. After doing some research to find out what birds they were, I found that they are both warblers who are migrating north and stop in the park on their way. The new birds are:
#40 Yellow-rumped Warbler
#41 Palm Warbler
