Teddy
Roosevelt Bird Walk
6 July 2011
Adirondack
Birding Center Director Brian McAllister led a bird walk on the
Jenkins Mountain Trail on 6 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. A light rain
inhibited our ability to hear the birds for the first twenty minutes
or so of the walk, but the weather cleared up a bit later on.
The
highlight of the walk was a close-up sighting of two beautiful
warblers: the Chestnut-sided
Warbler and the Mourning
Warbler. We saw both birds in an area near Plot 7, which had
been cleared about a decade ago and is now growing in, producing
the kind of thick underbrush both these birds favor.
We
heard the following birds near the parking area:
In the woods
on the Jenkins Mountain Trail, we saw or heard the following birds:
