We had a great turn out for our monthly bird walk at New Quarter Park! We had seventeen people come out and we saw 29 species of birds. We saw two Brown Pelicans on the poles in Queens Creek by the marina. That is a first for me at New Quarter Park! Many of our woodpeckers made a showing this morning, including a Red Headed Woodpecker and quite a few Red Bellied Woodpeckers. We saw some of our winter visitors such as Yellow Rumped Warblers, Yellow Bellied Sapsuckers and a Hermit Thrush. There also was a large group of Turkey and Black Vultures circling around. It was a beautiful, but chilly winter morning for the walk.
