McCormick Farm, Mar 11, 2026

This warm sunny morning, twenty two members and guests of the Augusta Bird Club met to conduct a bird walk at McCormick’s Farm. Thirty five species were recorded. We were welcomed in the parking lot by a Red-tailed Hawk sitting high in a tree and a Bald Eagle gliding over the pond. Singing Towhees, Meadowlarks, Song and Field Sparrows made for a most pleasant walk. Other highlights inluded Swamp Sparrow, Red-winged Blackbirds, Golden-crowned Sparrow, Fish Crow a Rusty Blackbird, 13 Gadwall, a Northern Harrier, and a Tree Swallow. Many thanks to all the participants. The warm hearted birders made for a most congenial occasion. –Jo King
