Description

Everett Crowley Park is a great park to explore for woodland birds. The weblike network of trails allows birders to explore several different habitats including open woodland, field, pond, and stream areas. Highlighted species that are regularly found throughout the year include Bewick's Wren, Downy Woodpecker and Pileated Woodpecker, Cooper's Hawk and Red-tailed Hawk.

In Winter, a few waterfowl and mixed flocks of sparrows are readily found. In Spring, this is a good spot to look for Orange-crowned Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler and Wilson's Warbler, Rufous Hummingbird, Warbling Vireo and Black-headed Grosbeak. Summer brings Cedar Waxwing, Swainson's Thrush and Willow Flycatcher. Early fall sees the brief return of the spring migrants.
