Notes: Allan Sparks and I visited the western end of the 2200 acre trail
system this morning. 4 hrs walk and 4 miles approx. Bright cloudless day,
temp last night down to 28 deg F. Thin sliver of ice on all water, heavy
frost This morning.
Lots of birds out in the hedgerows and along the ditches small creeks, and
sloughs. Sparrows were abundant everywhere. At the main intersection of
trails were an abundance of Am Goldfinches feeding on seeds along the trail
and in the side depression. Further on saw more finches feeding and bathing
near the slough within a mixed flock of sparrows and Yel Butt Warblers. This
is where we saw the Purple Finches. Towhees were spread out along the
hedgerows during the hike. Three were seen near the parking area and old
farm house that had a lot of messy hedgerow material and vines around it. 6
deer seen, best buck was a small 4 pt.
