First Bird Walk At ATFS A Success

Success can be measured in many different ways.  Though small in number, an enthusiastic group was lead by Melissa Myers (Environmental Education Coordinator at Cool Springs Environmental Education Center) during the A Time for Science Earth Week Bird Walk on April 19.  On a nearly perfect spring morning the group grabbed glimpses of and listened to a pileated woodpecker, a Great blue heron, an egret, a clutch of newly hatched Canada goslings, Cardinals, a Vireo, a variety of sparrows and many others.  In addition to birding, the group had an opportunity to view a number of other sights of wildlife such as animal tracks, a beaver dam which had been “restored’ from a breaching only the day before, wild flowers, berries, and trees newly leafed trees of all types.  A few pictures of our walk are below.
