I've been hiking that area twice a week now for the past 3 weeks. There's
also a Blue Grosbeak, Green Herons, and Yellowbilled Cuckoo back there. The
best place to find the grosbeak and cuckoo are when the main DG trail takes
a sharp left, and there's a little open field as it then continues on into a
sharp right curve and goes gently down the hill.
Enjoy!

> Don't forget there is a walk scheduled for Henricus Saturday the 28th at 7
a.m. Linda & I scouted it this morning, and there were plenty of birds to
see. The route will be from the visitor center east along the bank of the
flyash pond, and then we'll take a side trail that was very productive
today. The bank of the flyash dam has not been mowed, and there are thistle
and "Butter & Eggs" galore, which are attracting goldfinches, Indigo
Buntings, several types of sparrows, Common Yellowthroats, Red-winged
Blackbirds, etc.
> We heard more than we saw, especially on the wooded trail, but we did see
Yellow-throated and Prothonotary Warblers, Redstarts, three different
vireos, and several woodpeckers. There is also a mullberry tree with fruit
about 40-50 feet off the main trail that also is attracting birds.
> Even though summer has finally hit, the birds are still out in force.
Bring water, bug spray, and sunscreen. Based on our scouting today we should
be finished by around 10:30 to beat the heat. Maybe a little longer if the
heat holds off.
> By the way, there are at least 4 types of dragonflies there also.
> Hope to see you there!
