Paul Smith's College Visitor Center -- Barnum Brook from the Boreal Life Trail -- 13 July 2011

Adirondack Birding Center Director Brian McAllister led a bird walk on the Boreal Life Trail,and the Heron Marsh Trail on 13 July 2011. The walk was part of the "TR" Birding Series. The walk began at 8:00 AM, when we met at the parking lot at the Paul Smith's College VIC. The highlight of the walk was an excellent view of several Gray Jays on the Boreal Life Trail,on the hill above the Barnum Pond Overlook.
