NEWLY SPOTTED AT FRENCHMAN’S CREEK!
AMERICAN ROBIN The quintessential early bird, American Robins are common sights on lawns across North America, where you often see them tugging earthworms out of the ground. Robins are popular birds for their warm orange breast, cheery song, and early appearance at the end of winter.
WHITE-WINGED DOVE Originally a bird of desert thickets, the White-winged Dove has become a common sight in cities and towns across the southern U.S. When perched, this bird’s unspotted brown upper parts and neat white crescents along the wing distinguish it from the ubiquitous Mourning Dove.
GROUND DOVE A dove the size of a sparrow, the Common Ground Dove forages in dusty open areas, sometimes overshadowed by the grass clumps it is feeding beneath. Its dusty plumage is easy to overlook until the bird springs into flight with a soft rattling of feathers and a flash of reddish-brown in the wings.
PRAIRIE WARBLER Contrary to its name, the Prairie Warbler is a bird of scrubby fields, clearcut, and open woods, where it can be located by its buzzy, ascending song, tail-pumping habit, and black-streaked yellow plumage. This species has a bold facial pattern that gives it a “spectacled” appearance.
