The Thursday Walk turned up several interesting birds at the Courtenay Airpark this morning.
1. Orange-crowned Warbler. This was visiting feeders in the townhouse complex just south of the former Old House buildings along the river. Viewing is from the empty lot just south of the townhouses.
2. Northern Shrike. Same vicinity as the warbler.
3. Ruddy Duck. A female In the northern half of the lagoon. This could be the same bird first found on Nov. 7.
After coffee a couple of birders that returned to the Airpark reported finding a Yellow-rumped Warbler and a Marbled Godwit.
Report from Dave Robinson, Birding Chair.
