Teddy Roosevelt Bird Walk

Adirondack Birding Center Director Brian McAllister led a bird walk on the Boreal Life Trail and the Barnum Brook Trail on 15 June 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. It was a lovely late spring day with plenty of sunshine. We saw or heard a total of 25 birds. Highlights of the walk included some good views of a Palm Warbler on Barnum Bog, a Hairy Woodpecker near the VIC Building, and a Blue-headed Vireo and Ruby-throated Hummingbird in the VIC parking lot.
