Project FeederWatch
August 2008 Sightings

Project Feeder Watch ended in April.  We will keep you up-to-date on sightings at the feeders.  The most common native birds spotted were Mourning Doves and American Goldfinches.  Robins and Purple Martins are on the grounds of Lakeside Nature Center, though they aren't feeder birds.  The Chimney Swifts are sitting on their eggs in the swift tower in the center.  While they are not birds, White-tailed Deer, Eastern Cottontail Rabbits, Eastern Gray Squirrels, Raccoons and Opossums enjoy the seeds at our feeders and slake their thirst at the stream. 

You'll see lots of hummingbirds preparing for their migration to Brazil.  The first of the winter birds has appeared -- the White-breasted Nuthatch.
