Six people found 27 bird species at Black Lake Park on October 11, 2025 (Migratory Bird Day).
This cool sunny Saturday morning began with a Cooper’s Hawk flying over us in the parking lot before 8:00 and perching near our cars for a minute.
Soon afterward we began a slow walk around the south loop trails. Robins were everywhere. White-throated Sparrows and flickers were also abundant. Other species included Pied-billed Grebe, Eastern Phoebe, Winter Wren, Cedar Waxwing, Purple Finch, White-crowned Sparrow, Eastern Towhee and Yellow-rumped Warbler.
The trip ended at 10:45.
