Field Journal #6: Field Observations

On Saturday, April 11th, I went bird watching from 3:30-5:00 pm on the National Mall. I sat in a grove of cherry trees, and a long patch of tall deciduous trees. It was around 70º F, sunny with a light breeze. There were fair amounts of people out walking around, but not a ton. I observed European Starlings, American Robins, Common Grackles, Mallards, American Crows, Brown-headed Cowbirds, Rock Pigeons, Blue Jays, Ring-billed Gulls, House Sparrows, and White-Breasted Nuthatches.
