Welcome to the first post of 2016!
I would like to start this year off with a brief post about birdwatching opportunities at Howell Woods. Future posts will cover more specific groups of birds that can be found in the area.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is a great resource for bird identification for any time you are curious about what is coming to the feeder.

Several bird feeders, bird baths, and bird houses are scattered around the learning center.
During the warmer parts of the year, swarms of hummingbirds are a common sight.

An American Goldfinch and a House Finch enjoy one of the bird feeders together.
Several species of wading birds and waterfowl are also commonly found in this area.
Check back soon. More are on the way!
