Keney Park – West Side Trip
Birding Trip Report– Sept 14, 2025
Trip Leaders: Annette Pasek, Al Gatti
28 Species Observed
2 hours, 8 minutes | 1.06 miles
Twelve birders showed up at the Woodland Street entrance which is the western portion of Keney Park. In the past we have birded the eastern portion of the park; so, this was a new experience for all. We had beautiful Fall weather and varying habitats including woodland, grass land areas and the pond area.
The highlight of the trip was seeing the yellow-billed cuckoo within 10 minutes of the bird walk. He hung around among several trees for a good 10 minutes; so, we all got great views. Barry Marsh also captured some great pictures with his telephoto camera.
