Ballas Park and Green Pond ~ May 23, 2022

I did a 'kite watch' in the morning from the center overlook area at Ballas Park. A good number of species were seen flying over the park. These included Chimney Swift, Double-crested Cormorant, Great Blue and Green Heron, Black and Turkey Vulture, Bald Eagle, Red-tailed Hawk, Pileated Woodpecker, American Kestrel, Common Raven, Tree, Barn, and Northern Rough-winged Swallow, Purple Martin, and Bobolink, but there were no kites present.
Other notables seen in the park included Willow Flycatcher, Great Crested Flycatcher, Brown Thrasher, Cedar Waxwing, American Goldfinch, Field Sparrow, and Orchard Oriole.

On my way home, I stopped at Green Pond and found Snow Goose, Killdeer, Spotted and Least Sandpiper, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Great Egret, Eastern Kingbird, Warbling Vireo, and Baltimore Oriole.
