Hickory Hill Park Warbler Walk, May 3rd 2011

The Iowa City Bird Club's Warbler Walk for today in Hickory Hill Park started off frosty.

Among the interesting birds we saw were Great Crested Flycatcher, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Gray Catbird, Nashville Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and Black-and-White Warbler.

Our walks continue for the next couple of weeks, weekdays only, leaving the North [Conklin Lane --- near the Hy-Vee on North Dodge] entrance to Hickory Hill Park in Iowa City.  Walks start at 6:30,  rain or shine, or frost].  The leaders are usually present for an hour +, depending on the birds.  All are welcome.  Warblers are among North America's prettiest birds.  Pictures on many of them can be found at Warbler Photos.
