Birds of the Garden
GWC Native Garden Bird Sightings
Perhaps this modest list will appeal to those interested in our local populations of birds. The garden is less than an acre and half and so does not have the quantity or diversity of birds found throughout the county. It is a small slice of what is around us.
Still it is interesting to see and hear birds in various activities throughout the year. This list is comprised of birds found within the Garden’s boundaries, if there is a flyover noted it will be followed by (FO). Sightings and recording of these birds is made principally by Garden volunteer, Bob Hogan. Volunteer days are Tuesdays and Thursday mornings so of course there are many birds not seen by us.
This simple list does not record frequency of returns, how much time each species spends in the garden, or their activities in the Garden, (feeding, nesting, etc).
