Birding at Wintergarden 5/3/09
Location: Wintergarden Park/St. John’s Nature Preserve
Observation date: 5/3/09
Notes: Conditions were mainly sunny throughout the day. The temperature when we began was about 58 degrees (F) and about 68 degrees (F) when we finished. Despite the fact that they should have migrated by now, we did see some American Tree Sparrows. I also had the opportunity to see the red-headed woodpecker because I was speaking with another birder while I was taking the time to watch the dozen 1.5 inch mice come out of hiding and run around the underbrush.
