Silver Lake Mill Bird Blog

SURPRISED THIS MORNING to see a Baltimore Oriole in the Cottonwood tree next
to the spillway. Understand that they are fairly common, but this is the
first time in 6 years we’ve seen one here.

Saturday, just before the start of Kids Fishing Day, we happened to see a
group of about 5 Sandpipers land on the southwest corner of the lake. Seemed
to be Pectoral Sandpipers, after studying our low-light photos.

A flock of seagulls spent some time at Silver Lake Thursday (April 19). We
often see them before a snowstorm, but this time they came ahead of a
welcome warm spell.

Saturday was Kids Day at Silver Lake. We had
beautiful weather and a great crowd! Thanks to VDGIF for putting this on!
