We will meet in the parking lot next to the river. This is late summer and early migration. Many birds are quiet and possibly molting this time of year. We should see eagles, Red-tailed and possible Red-shouldered Hawk. Chimney Swifts and a few swallows are likely. Burcham is always good for woodpeckers including Red-bellied, Downy, and Pileated as well as flickers. A few flycatchers may still be around as well vireos and fall warblers like Parula and Prothonotary. It’s a little late for sparrows but perhaps waxwings and bluebirds will be present. Typical woodland residents like titmice, chickadees, nuthatch, grosbeaks, and Carolina Wren are likely to be there but often overlooked this time of year due to their lack of calls. Plan to wrap up the field trip by 9 to 9:30 a.m.
