Walk lasted between 12:00 and 13:52
We had an outstanding walk today with 21 species observed. The predicted was 17.5 and
we were only 2 short of tying the record for the week. We also had an impressive number of walkers: 10.
One new one was Kevin Kan, father of Calvin and husband of Wan-Ying. So, the Kan family
was well represented. I would say the most interesting part of the walk occurred in the little park
just south of the IPAC building. We had two Nuttall’s Woodpeckers in the same tree with a Bewick’s
Wren that got attacked by a Dark-eyed Junco. Also interesting towards the end of the walk
was what looked like a hybrid hawk – Red-tailed X Red-shouldered. The chest looked like a red-tailed
but the tail
had faint bands on it. We finally went with juvenile Red-shouldered. Good walk!
