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.
