A Good Birding Day at the Glass House
Today, was a very good day for birding at LREC. First I saw a pileated woodpecker by the Glass House as I was walking down from the parking lot. Then, Lil Collins came into the Glass House talking about all the bluebirds she had seen outside. So, we decided to do a little bird watching. We saw many bluebirds, including one perched on the house by the South Prairie. We also saw many other birds such as goldfinches and chickadees. Lil noticed what we later discovered to be a yellow-bellied sapsucker on the yews by the Glass House. He has a red spot on his head and under his beak and has a yellowish belly but is otherwise colored like a downy or hairy woodpecker with a black and white streaked back. We also discovered this damage, characteristic of sapsuckers, on the yews by the Glass House.
