Birding the Adirondacks:
Teddy Roosevelt Bird Walk
16 May 2012

 

Adirondack Birding Center Director Brian McAllister led a bird walk on the Barnum Brook Trail and the Boreal Life Trail on 16 May 2012. The walk was part of the "TR" Birding Series. The walk began at 9:00 AM, when we met at the parking lot at the Paul Smith's College VIC. As usual, the parking lot proved to be a major birding hot spot; we got some great views of the beautiful Blackburnian Warbler. Other highlights of the walk included some very nice views of the Common Yellowthroat and the Palm Warbler.

Near the VIC parking lot, we saw or heard the following birds:

Chipping Sparrow	Blue-headed Vireo
Hermit Thrush	White-throated Sparrow
