Fauntleroy Watershed Birds
Birders check out feathered residents of Fauntleroy Cove during a community bird walk in mid January. Organized by Robert Gresky (foreground) with the Fauntleroy Watershed Council, the event drew a dozen birders to Fauntleroy Park and Cove.

The following is a list of birds that have been sighted in the Fauntleroy Watershed, throughout the changing seasons. We hope you take a moment to observe them as you enjoy your time in the park. They can be seen perched in a tree, rustling around in the underbrush or drinking from the creek. Their songs will delight you and the sight of a small fledgling out with their parents is a sight you will always remember. What a wonderful gift it is to share the watershed with our fine, feathered friends.  Use the Birds of the Watershed Checklist to see how many different birds you can observe in the watershed.   Happy birding.
