Winterthur Bird List

July 17, 2008 by Chris Strand

This last weekend I led a group of members up Farm Hill in the evening to watch our flock of Chimney Swifts roost in the creamery chimney. There were several of our members on the walk who are avid birdwatchers and I learned a great deal over the course of the evening. Winterthur is a wonderful place to bird-watch. The mix of terrain and the convenience of trails and paths make it an easy destination for beginning birders and families interested in natural history. I am attaching a PDF file to this post of our Winterthur Bird List for those of you curious about bird life on the estate. The list is organized by common name and includes more than 200 birds sighted on the property.
