In the time that I’ve been walking through Seagroves Farm Park, I’ve encountered 90 species of birds. These are the birds I have seen (as of December 22, 2021).

You can use this list to help you narrow down what you might see in the park. The foundation of this list was constructed from memory, so I may have missed one or two “early birds.”
