Notes on 301 Walking Trail Dec. 29 Observations
On the morning of December 29, my daughter and I spent a little over two hours walking on the second section of the trail on a brisk but sunny day, with temperatures ranging from 32 to 45 degrees. Activity was slow to start, but picked up as the temperatures began to rise.
We saw lots of wintering White-throated Sparrows (thirty), two Black-and-White Warblers, two Hermit Thrushes, four Wood Ducks, and heard lots of Cardinals and Carolina Wrens, as well as Bluebirds, Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Phoebes, Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, Titmice, Red-bellied Woodpeckers and four Purple Finches. There was an armadillo feeding on the lawn in front of the Visitors Center.
