Adirondack Wetlands: Heron Marsh from the Barnum Brook Trail at the Paul Smiths VIC

Adirondack Birding Center Director Brian McAllister led a bird walk on the Jenkins Mountain Trail and the Barnum Brook Trail on 20 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 seeing several warbler species and a mother Cedar Waxwing on her nest on the Jenkins Mountain Trail.
