Field Journal #5 (April 15th)

I conducted my bird walk around my home in Lincoln Park, New Jersey. I started my bird walk at 4:00 pm, and it lasted until 6:00 pm. It was sunny with some clouds in the sky. The temperature outside was warm, about 50 degrees, with moderate wind to the east. There were three locations I walked through. One was a wooded wetland area with an acre pond. The other was a suburban street lined with houses on both sides with a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees on the lawns. And the third was an open woodland meadow, with reeds, lots of underbrush, and a few scattered trees.

List of Birds Seen:

  • 6 American Robins
  • 1 Blue Jay
  • 2 Turkey Vulture
  • 1 Northern Mockingbird
  • 1 European Starlings
  • 2 Dark-eyed Junco
  • 4 House Finches
  • 2 Northern Flickers
