My first of four stops was in the area around the Visitor’s Center. Some of the birds I identified there was Carolina wren, northern mockingbird, dark-eyed junco, and white-throated sparrow. Birds I saw along the Dike Trail included song sparrow, American goldfinch, northern flicker, Carolina chickadee, mallard, great blue heron, red-winged blackbird, and ring-billed gull. I went to the Photographer’s Blind Trail next. Two black vultures were sitting next to each other in a tree. From the blind, I saw Canada goose, green-winged teal, and American avocet. The last stop was Foord’s Landing Road. I found the eastern screech-owl in its usual spot in the knot of one of the trees. The other birds I identified in this area were American crow, great blue heron, red-bellied woodpecker, and Carolina wren.
