Birds at the Slough

The diverse plant life and topography at Eagle Slough provides a wonderful habitat for the expected chickadees, wrens, robins and grackles as well  a colorful array of other birds not commonly seen in town, such as blue-gray gnatcatchers, yellow-bellied sapsuckers, blue-winged teals, double-crested cormorants and ruby-crowned kinglets. A number of warblers are stopping by as well.
