Owls And Others

Tower Grove Park on 4/18. Many species were seen, with the highlight being three Great Horned Owls. Also seen were white-throated sparrows, eastern towhees, hermit thrushes, winter wrens, a probable white-eyed vireo, brown thrashers, a yellow-bellied sapsucker, a pine warbler, and possibly others.

After seeing them all day, I was glad to finally get a decent picture of a brown thrasher at the end. This weekend, I went to Forest Park twice and Tower Grove Park once, so expect a springy post full of warblers soon!

    Looks like agreat spot.-I like te Tohee picture and getting a photo of a Great Horned Owl is Great! Brown thrasher is an interesting bird-they usually repeat their phrases twice on average.

    Wow- great pictures! I can't believe your list from just one day. I'd be happy to see this variety over the course of a month even. Great blog!
