Reeves-Reed Arboretum: Gardens

Birds at Reeves-Reed Arboretum

What attracts birds to the Arboretum? Shelter and an ample supply of food of course. Also the goldfish pond is like a "refreshments" billboard on the overflight highway, especially during migration periods in spring and fall.

Dwight Hiscano, a tenant at the Arboretum, is an enthusiastic birder. Over the last few years, he has identified the following birds, by either sight or by sound, on the grounds.

Crow Cedar Waxwing Goldfinch House Finch Blue Jay Titmouse Chickadee Slate-colored Junco Mourning Dove Purple Grackle Catbird Cardinal Robin Starling House Sparrow Song Sparrow White Throat Sparrow Chipping Sparrow White-Breasted Nuthatch Red-breasted Nuthatch House Wren Winter Wren Carolina Wren	Baltimore Oriole Least Flycatcher Blue-Winged Warbler Parula Warbler Black and White Warbler Redstart Black Throated Green Warbler Yellow-Rumped Warbler Wood Thrush Hermit Thrush Scarlet Tanager Downy Woodpecker Red-Bellied Woodpecker Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker Yellow-Shafted Flicker Pileated Woodpecker Brown-Headed Cowbird Mallard Red Tailed Hawk Sharp Shinned Hawk Ruby-Throated Hummingbird Wild Turkey Hen
