Sunday, July 10, 2005 -- Went birding with the Audubon Society at Caswell State Park. Dara, Benjamin and daddy hiked around Caswell for about 3 1/2 hours. Our group identified at least 25 birds. We observed the California Thrasher for about five minutes, sitting on top of a cluster of large trees, singing away. Ben and Dara found a lizard. As we first entered the park, we saw a small group of California Quails. I found a praying mantis.
Here is a list of the birds and other animals that were identified by our group (sight or sound): frog (sounds), spotted towee, tree swallow, turkey vulture, nuttalls woodpecker, belted kingfisher, California thrasher, hummingbird, California quail, western tanager, ashthroated flycatcher, brown cowbird, red-tailed hawk, lizard, mourning dove, scrub jay, bushtit, swainson's hawk, black phoebe, white-breasted nuthatch, wrentit, western woodpecker, pewee, willow flycatcher, goldfinch.
