Old Trail

I hiked here in Old Trail this morning and ended up with 32 avian species. Once again, I heard a Lousiana Waterthrush but could not find it, even though it sounded to be close by. One of the Red-shouldered Hawks is still on her nest.

There's a bird box in Western Park that had Bluebirds nesting in it. When I hiked by it this morning, I saw a Black Ratsnake in the bird box :-(
