We will meet in the parking lot next to the river. This is late summer and early migration. Many birds are quiet and possibly molting this time of year. We should see eagles, Red-tailed and possible Red-shouldered Hawks. Chimney Swifts and a few swallows may still be around. Burcham is always good for woodpeckers including Red-bellied, Downy, and Pileated as well as flickers. A few flycatchers may still be around as well vireos and fall warblers. Waxwings and bluebirds may be present. Typical woodland residents like titmice, chickadees, nuthatch, and Carolina Wren are likely to be there but often overlooked this time of year due to their lack of calls. Plan to wrap up the field trip by 9 to 9:30 a.m.Photo: Downy Woodpecker by Elizabeth Jaffin
