Subject: Raven Rock St. Pk. Spring Bird Count, 2026
The Raven Rock St. Pk. Spring Bird Count for 2026 took place on May 3. We
came up with 102 species and 2806 individual birds. We had to delay the
count a day because of rain, but we were still able to field 7 parties,
with 13 total birders. On the count day, we enjoyed cool temperatures and
clear skies, albeit with some wind.

Notable finds were 9 Anhingas, 5 Northern House-wrens, a Grasshopper
Sparrow, 33 Bobolinks, 4 Swainson's Warblers, and 3 Northern Yellow
Warblers.

Our Christmas count is tentatively scheduled for Sat., Dec. 19, and we
can always use additional birders.
