Spring Birds at Limberlost

By Kimberley Roll

We thought our Limberlost followers would enjoy a look back at some of the birds that Kimberley Roll photographed at the Limberlost Territories this spring.

Sandhill Cranes flying north in mid March. A pair has been spotted in May at the Limberlost Swamp Wetland Preserve. Our hopes is that they are nesting here.

Redheaded ducks

Woodcock. This bird is a secretive one. Normally it is heard by its “peenting” call but not seen.

Robin

Hooded merganser

Green-winged teal; not as common as the blue-winged teal which have been nesting at the Limberlost Swamp Wetland Preserve.

Northern shoveler

Great blue heron are commonly seen all year round at Limberlost.

The dickcissel is a summer resident at Limberlost. You can hear the calls during this spring and summer.

We hope you enjoyed your look back at some of the birds who visit the Limberlost Territories this spring.
