Barry Jones and I did the bird part of a survey at Wildcat Park, Joplin, MO.
on
Sat. morning, 7-17-04. We had 50 species. Newton County. Our five
favorites:
Yellow-crowned Night Heron - Six young -of- the- year. Two near one nest
and four at
another nest. Also two
other unsuccessful nests. (One may have
blown out of the tree
three weeks ago. The other acted as
if eggs were being
incubated but was not occupied on a later date).
Mississippi Kite -An adult was observed three times
during the morning survey.
(We were not able to find
a kite nest this year in the Joplin area.
The most kites observed at
one time was three adults. There were
four places where they
were observed at here in the Joplin city limits)
Broad-winged Hawk -One adult. We approached real close on one
occasion while the
hawk was having brunch.
Looked like the prey item was a frog, but
not for sure.
Prothonotary Warbler
Eastern Towhee
Good birding, Larry H. Joplin MO.
