Millbury Bike Path (11/4)

After a morning of shopping, we stopped at the bike path in Millbury for a short walk. Right off the parking lot, I spied a Bluebird amongst the English Sparrows in the woods. The path was relatively quiet but you could still find pockets of activity in the sunny spots. Just across the first bridge was a particularly good spot. It was a small body of water not much larger than a puddle but there were birds all around it. Juncos hopped along the water's edge and Blue Jays, Chickadees, and Song Sparrows perched in the bushes. We even found two or three Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Back along the main path we found a group of Golden-crowned Kinglets and what we think may have been a Lincoln's Sparrow.

Surprisingly, there weren't many birds on the water other than Mallards but we did have one Great Blue Heron and one Kingfisher.

Birds: Eastern Bluebird, Song Sparrow, House Sparrow, Black-capped Chickadee, Red-tailed Hawk, Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, American Goldfinch, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Lincoln's Sparrow (?), Downy Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, American Crow, Dark-eyed Junco
