My weekly Sat morning trip to Blendon had one surprise. I flushed a
Woodcock on the Goldenrod trail and it landed on the path in front of me
and posed for me. Also 2 beautiful male Eastern Towhee's were singing in
the top of a tree in the most southern meadow. Only 3 juncos wondering
where all there friends went. Here's the list.
