Old Trail

It was completely cloud covered this morning, and started off with a little light drizzle. I hiked a few areas here in Old Trail that I usually miss, as I wanted to see if any Louisiana Waterthrushes might have arrived. I didn't see any, but ended up with 36 avian species this morning, making it 43 avian species for Sunday through Tuesday here in Old Trail.

I saw Hermit Thrushes in two different locations.

I haven't seen Pine Siskins for a few weeks here, but saw four of them coming to a feeder. I also saw two Bluebirds coming to the same feeder, and don't often see Bluebirds coming to eat seeds.
