Descrição

Mundy Park is largely evergreen and mixed forest interspersed with two small lakes, several marshy areas, and open field and parkland at its edges. It is a beautiful park that is relatively easy to walk through with a vast network of crisscrossing trails. The main trails are wide gravel paths, but there are also many other smaller trails and boardwalks to explore. This is a good place to seek out forest birds and hone your bird call mastery, as many will be heard, but not easily seen through the dense foliage.

Species that can be found here year-round include mallard, hooded merganser, Anna's hummingbird, downy woodpecker, hairy woodpecker, pileated woodpecker, northern flicker, American crow, common raven, black-capped chickadee, chestnut-backed chickadee, golden-crowned kinglet, red-breasted nuthatch, brown creeper, Pacific wren, American robin, pine siskin, red crossbill, dark-eyed jungo, song sparrow, and spotted towhee.

The spring migration and warmer weather bring rufous hummingbird, great blue heron, turkey vulture, bald eagle, barred owl, red-breasted sapsucker, western flycatcher, bushtit, hermit thrush, willow flycatcher, Hammond's flycatcher, western flycatcher, Hutton's vireo, Cassin's vireo, warbling vireo, violet-green swallow, Swainson's thrush, cedar waxwing, house finch, purple finch, American goldfinch, white-crowned sparrow, orange-crowned warbler, yellow-rumped warbler, black-throated gray warbler, Townsend's warbler, Wilson's warbler, western tanager, and black-headed grosbeak.

Summer adds a few more late visitors: black swift, Vaux's swift, band-tailed pigeon, and purple martin.

Fall through winter is a good time to look for Steller's jay, ruby-crowned kinglet, varied thrush, and dark-eyed junco.
