January Bird Walk

I took a bird walk a week ago with about a dozen other folks.

We walked around Alton Baker Park for a couple of hours. The park is large enough to have several different kinds of habitat including a community garden, open fields, an oak grove, 

forest and the Willamette River.

  

We saw a nice variety of birds including: Cackling Goose, Canada Goose, 

American Wigeon, 

Hooded Merganser, 

Ring-necked Pheasant, 

Double-crested Cormorant, 

Great Blue Heron, 

Bald Eagle, 

Anna's Hummingbird,

Belted Kingfisher, 

Red-breasted Sapsucker, 

Downy Woodpecker, Northern Flicker, Western Scrub-Jay, 

American Crow, 

Black-capped Chickadee, 

Bushtit, 

Brown Creeper, 

Pacific Wren, Bewick's Wren, (heard only), Golden-crowned Kinglet, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, 

American Robin, 

European Starling, Spotted Towhee, Song Sparrow, Golden-crowned Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco, House Finch

and Red-winged Blackbird.

I wish I had better photos to share.  Oh well, the Sapsucker one is nice as is the Robin!
