 Sunday Morning edition.

The weather was much more conducive to riding today. Still chilly at the start, 
but warming as the ride progressed. Lot's of birds on a 20 mi loop starting at 
the Station Rd. bridge.

Along the way, I heard quite a few Yellow Warblers, and Blue-grey Gnatcatchers 
were everywhere.
Also, Great Blue Herons, Chimney Swifts, Barn Swallows, Yellow Rumps and 
American Goldfinches were seen frequently.

FOS birds included E. Wood Pewee, Blue-headed Vireo, Prothonotary Warbler, 
Common Yellowthroat, 

and 3 Yellow-throated Warblers.

Other highlights included 2 Red-shoulder Hawks soaring overhead near the Station 
Rd. bridge, and great views of the Adult Bald Eagle sitting on the nest just 
north of the bridge. The views were enhanced by the
scopes that Ann Chasar and other CVNRA volunteers set up off the pathway. They 
drew quite an assortment
of runners, walker, and cyclist who were afforded aspectacular view. Kudos to 
all.

See you on the trails,
