Eleven birders went out to the One Spot Trail on Brazier Rd. Thursday. The weather was overcast and mild with only a couple of drops of rain falling on us towards the end of our walk.
We did the new connector trail that goes towards Wildwood Forest, and then went south on the One Spot towards Pindar Rd. Highlights included hearing all four species of vireo that occur in our area, plus several sightings of young birds being fed. The woods were filled with the strange chirps and cheeps of young birds. A doe with a brand new fawn were seen near the parking lot.
