I walked the Long trail North from the footbridge near bolton then back south both directions traveling about a mile and a half. In the Deciduous forests with grown in understory and the floodplain forest I saw and heard Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Blue Jays, Wood Thrush, many Veerys, Tufted Titmouse, American Redstart, Baltimore Oriel, Chestnut-sided Warbler, American Robin, Yellow-rumped Warbler, many Red-eyed Vireo and others. In a near by Coniferous stand of trees I heard a Scarlet Tanager and many Ovenbirds. In the open fields to the south of the footbridge on the long trail on the edges in the bushes and deciduous trees I saw American Crows, Red-winged Blackbirds, Common Grackles, Tree Swallows swooping over the field, Indigo Bunting, Common Yellowthroat, and Gray Catbirds.
