October Birds of Limberlost

October Birds of Limberlost
By Kimberley Roll


Picture
Kimberley Roll took this great photo of a Lincoln's Sparrow at the Loblolly Marsh Nature Preserve. It is a private bird and hard to photograph. 
Picture
One of Limberlost and Loblolly's resident bald eagles. The Limberlost Conservation Area is known for its number of bald eagles. A bird that had been extirpated from Geneva in Gene Stratton-Porter's time.
Picture
Striking photo of a male cardinal. The cardinals were not that common in this area in Gene Stratton-Porter's time. Gene's first book was "Song of the Cardinal." It was a bird she loved seeing and was happy to know that they nested in Geneva.
Picture
The blue jay has been seen in good numbers this year around Limberlost.
Picture
The kingfisher. This is a bird that Gene was excited to photograph and its nest by the old gravel pit on the east side of Geneva. Gene would be pleased that the kingfishers are still seen in that same area.
Picture
A swamp sparrow. A bird well named as this is a bird seen around the Limberlost wetlands or "swamp."
Picture
We have had flocks of red-winged blackbirds migrating south. The female red-winged blackbird is commonly mistaken for a sparrow.

White-crowned sparrow is one of our winter residents. One of our native sparrows.

Song sparrow is one of our year round birds at Limberlost. 


Thank you to Kimberley for sharing her birding adventures at Limberlost.
