[WEalding@xxxxxxx]

I hiked the Forest Exploration Trial this morning.  Most notable was a  flock 
of 25 Robins feeding on poke berries in a disturbed area of trees downed  by 
Hurricane Isabel - it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good!  On the  
downside, I saw a Red-eyed Vireo feeding a young Cowbird.
 
There was a Northern Watersnake in the creek.
