The Naturalist
|
Hello everyone! Recently (June 2013) CLSPIA decided to update their website and have me author a new category entitled the “Naturalist”. It was the intent of the CLSPIA board to give the reader the visual opportunity to view the wildlife of the park and surrounding area through pictures and learn more about the wildlife with short articles on selected species.

Annual Bird Count --
The 45th Audubon Christmas Bird Count, on December 14, 2019, in Lake County, found that the number of species is still 134. The 22-year average is 136. The total number of birds seen was 41,666, higher that the 16-year average of 39,636. Three rare birds were seen this year: the tri-colored blackbird, the yellow-headed blackbird and the great-tailed grackle.
For more information about these rare birds, or any birds, please go to ebird.org, a website managed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
For a very useful app on your mobile to identify birds on hikes, download the Merlin Bird ID app.
