Birder Paparazzi

An Amateur Birdwatcher's tally

Week 6

​As I said last week, I bird watch in a different way that a lot of experts do. Parking lot birding, for example, can entertain me for hours. I use my camera far more than I use binoculars, especially the zoom. Some days I meander through, counting birds. Last week I identified more birds on Saturday than I did in my actual birding journey on Sunday!
On Saturday, I saw 3 types of sparrows, 2 types of chickadees, juncos, scrub jays, stellar jays, mallards, two types of hawks, seagulls, crows, robins, pigeons, a flicker, Canada geese, starlings, an eagle, and a blue heron! Quite a birding day! 
In a quick jaunt to Flaming Geyser park on SundayI saw:
Seagulls.                            House sparrows
Junco                                  Crows
Red tail hawk.                     Pigeons
Blue heron                           Mallards
Dove                                     Eagle
2 hawks in a tree.               Robins
Kingfisher.                           Kestrel 
1 starling  - which is very odd in farm country! Starlings can be nuisance birds in the country like pigeons can be in the city. They like a crowd. Did this lone bird not get a memo? Everyone else met on the wires in Kent? We'll never know.

    I love birdwatching. It's relaxing and fun. Even though I've been birding for over 10 years I classify myself as an amateur birder. I plan to write a blog a week about my experiences. Hope you enjoy them!
