I did a 22 mile bike circuit both north and south from Station Rd. in
the CVNP.
Diversity was great and  a fair number of warblers were seen or heard.

  The west side of the tracks north of the station also had a number of
Prothonotary Warbler and
at least 5 Red-headed Woodpeckers.

A Peregrine Falcon nest on the SR 82 bridge was viewed thanks to a scope
set up by Ann Chasar.
