For me, the best thing about the park is that it offers a good look at nearly all of Wickham Lake. My highlight was seeing<strong>\u00a011 Ruddy Ducks<\/strong> that were present on the lake, my first of the season. \u00a0Scanning the lake, I also\u00a0had many Mallards, Canada Geese, a dozen Ring-billed Gulls, 2 Belted Kingfishers, a Double-crested Cormorant, and an adult Bald Eagle. But as I wandered through the 50 acres that make up the park, I realized that it was quite birdy. I had easily over 20 Yellow-rumped Warblers, 4 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, several Eastern Bluebirds, and I got a nice look at a Pileated Woodpecker as it flew across the lake. Nice night of birding!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5039\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5039\" style=\"width: 1072px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9883.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5039\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9883.jpg\" alt=\"~\" width=\"1072\" height=\"1340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9883.jpg 1072w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9883-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9883-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9883-1000x1250.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5039\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">~Ruby-crowned Kinglet at Wickham Woodlands, 10\/8\/15.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5041\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5041\" style=\"width: 1558px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9979.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5041\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9979.jpg\" alt=\"~\" width=\"1558\" height=\"903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9979.jpg 1558w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9979-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9979-1024x593.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9979-1000x580.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5041\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">~Ten Ruddy Ducks, my first of the Season, out on Wickham Lake, 10\/8\/15.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5040\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5040\" style=\"width: 890px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9727.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5040\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9727.jpg\" alt=\"~\" width=\"890\" height=\"1335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9727.jpg 890w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9727-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9727-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5040\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">~I actually took this on Tuesday afternoon at the Liberty Loop but still wanted to post it &#8211; Sharp-shinned Hawk perched, 10\/6\/15.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5042\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5042\" style=\"width: 931px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/panorama-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5042\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/panorama-4.jpg\" alt=\"~iPhone panoramic shot of Wickham Lake, taken from Wickham Woodlands Town Park, 10\/8\/15.~\" width=\"931\" height=\"442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/panorama-4.jpg 931w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/panorama-4-300x142.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5042\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">~iPhone panoramic shot of Wickham Lake, taken from Wickham Woodlands Town Park, 10\/8\/15.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was happy to finally get out to bird Warwick&#8217;s newest town park, Wickham Woodlands.
