Moody Point Bird Walk 2019

Andra and Dave led the Moody Point bird walk again this morning. It has been a good year for birding and the air was full of bird song. The weather was clear with a breeze from the Northwest.

We started at trail head one and were seeing birds as we gathered. Wink saw a hummingbird but I didn’t get a picture.

We saw quite a few yellow legs as the tide was coming in. According to Andra they stop by here on their way to the Arctic. Good turn out, fair number of bird sightings, and a gorgeous sunny day.

3 Catbirds

4 Bluejays

5 Baltimore Orioles

6 Finches

7 Cardinals

8 Sparrows

9 Greater Yellow Legs

10 Seagulls

11 Geese

12 Cormorants

And a beautiful Hummingbird!

…along with a Catbird, Cowbird, Phoebe, Towhee,  Red Winged Blackbird, Dove, Sandpiper, Titmouse, Rose Breasted Grosbeak, Red Tail Hawk, several Grackle, House Sparrows, and probably several more sightings  I may have missed.

Many thanks to Andra and Dave for hosting this each year – it’s always exciting and educational to learn more about the wonderful birds which also consider Moody Point home!
