Beginner Birder Workshop Slide Show
22 July 2011

Adirondack Birding Center Director Brian McAllister led a Beginner Birder Workshop on 22 July 2011. The walk was part of the Beginner Birder Workshops at the VIC. The walk began at 8:00 AM, when we met at the parking lot at the Paul Smith's College VIC. We started out on the Boreal Life Trail, then followed the Barnum Brook Trail, ending up on the Heron Marsh Trail. It was a sunny, pleasant day. The highlight of the walk was an excellent view of a Boreal Chickadee on the boardwalk over Barnum Bog on the Boreal Life Trail.

We identified a Red-Eyed Vireo, some Cedar Waxwings, and a Blue-headed Vireo near the VIC parking lot.

On the Boreal Life Trail, we saw or heard the following birds:

Red-eyed Vireo Yellow-rumped Warbler
Black-capped Chickadee White-throated Sparrow
Cedar Waxwing Red-Eyed Vireo
Nashville Warbler American Crow
Golden-crowned Kinglet Boreal Chickadee
Palm Warbler  

On the Barnum Brook Trail, we heard or saw the following birds:

Ovenbird Red-breasted Nuthatch
Swamp Sparrow Black-Capped Chickadee
Black-throated Blue Warbler  

On the overlook on the Heron Marsh Trail, we heard or saw the following birds:

Wood Duck American Bittern
Mallard Red-winged Blackbird
