WFB 131 Field Journal 5: General
Date - 5/28/21
Start time - 6:49 am
End time - 11:58 pm
Location - Macrae Farm Park, Colchester, Vermont
Weather (temperature, wind speed/direction, precipitation) - start: 59 F, 7 mph NW, overcast; end: 59 F, 5 mph NW, mostly cloudy
Habitat(s) - I started out in a grassy area next to the wetlands and saw Mallards, American Goldfinches, Canada Geese, Mourning Doves, Song Sparrows, a Red-bellied Woodpecker, a Double-crested Cormorant, a Belted Kingfisher, and Ring-billed Gulls. Most of these seemed to live in or around the tall grasses next to the wetland. From here, I moved down the main trail through a more densely wooded area with some shrubby spots. Here I found American Crows, Common Grackles, Yellow Warblers, Brown-headed Cowbirds, American Robins, many Red-winged Blackbirds, Common Yellowthroat, and a Gray Catbird. At the end of this trail, I came to a couple large open fields that had just been mown, so most of the birds were hanging out at the edge of the forest. Here I found House Wrens, Cedar Waxwings, a Black-capped Chickadee, and Northern Cardinals.
