Field Journal Assignment #6

04/15/2023, 10:58 am- 12:15 am, causeway park, sunny and 70 degrees, water and wooded area

I began my trip leaving from the parking lot of the causeway where I saw a Turkey Vulture flying overhead. I then heard an American Goldfinch singing in a tree nearby. When I started walking on the trail I could hear many Black-capped Chickadees and I saw one perched in a tree. I could also hear an American Robin. I then heard a Carolina Wren and, after close inspection, saw it perched up high in a tree but flew away before I could take a photo.

I then went off the main path onto a little side path that was far less populated by people than the main path. There was a small amount of water in this area and when I started standing and looking for birds by the water a Wild Turkey flew away from a tree right next to me. I then saw 3 American Robins on a snag in the water and was able to photograph one of them. I then returned to the path and started hearing a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. After looking around in the trees, I saw it flying in between trees for a short moment. As I continued walking down the main path toward the water I heard several songs from Northern Cardinals.

When I was at the water, I saw three pairs of male and female Buffleheads and two female Buffleheads alone. I also saw two couples of Mallards and two Canada Geese. While I was sitting watching the waterbirds, a Song Sparrow flew and sang on a tree next to me. I then headed back down the path and heard a Tufted Titmouse nearby.
