The checklist below of birds that have been seen at Sandy Creek Park was originally developed by Kent Fiala, editor of The Chat (Carolina Bird Club). Other local birders have since made additions (latest update: 10/29/2010). If you would like to communicate sightings of new species at the park, e-mail Randy Neighbarger.
Look for this mailbox with this cardinal sticker at the south entrance to the park trails, next to the old bridge. In the mailbox are copies of this bird list, as well as a book where
you can record bird sightings.
