Despite moderate rain in the forecast, we nonetheless had nineteen birders show up for a morning of fall birding in the North Woods. We started near the Great Hill, where we saw a few warblers, a Scarlet Tanager, Wood and Swainson’s Thrushes, an Eastern Towhee, and a few other sparrow species. We proceeded to the Pool, where we found more warblers, a Great Blue Heron, and a few duck species, including Gadwall and Green-winged Teal. At the Loch we saw a Green Heron and more warblers.
The highlights of the walk were several Scarlet Tanagers and fifteen species of warblers, as well as a Belted Kingfisher, heard between the Loch and the Meer. Many thanks to our leader Ursula Mitra.
