Birding the Adirondacks:
Teddy Roosevelt Bird Walk
18 September 2013
Adirondack Birding Center Director Brian McAllister led a bird walk on the Barnum Brook Trail on 18 September 2013. The walk was part of the "TR" Birding Series. The walk began at 9:00 AM, when we met in the VIC building at the Paul Smith's College VIC. We saw or heard a total of 19 different bird species. Highlights of the walk included some excellent views of a group of migrating birds along the south side of the Barnum Brook Trail, including immature Yellow-rumped Warblers, Blackpoll Warblers, and a Hermit Thrush. We also had some good views of Belted Kingfishers on Heron Marsh, as well as distant views of a North American River Otter.
Near the VIC building and parking lot, we saw or heard the following birds:
| Blue Jay | Red-Breasted Nuthatch |
| Blue-headed Vireo | Yellow-bellied Sapsucker |
| American Robin | Chipping Sparrow |
| Black-capped Chickadee |
