Spending my Easter Sunday morning worshipping at BNP, I found these
highlights:
Many field sparrows
Numerous fox sparrows
1 savannah sparrow
1 rusty blackbird
2 pairs of eastern meadowlarks
1 red breasted nuthatch
6 killdeers
bluebirds galore
4 hairy woodpeckers - including 2 males fighting over a female
strong numbers of n. flickers
lots of noisy cowbirds
tree swallows at every nest box
Notably:
NO golden crowned kinglets found
What I also didn't find was the boardwalk into the tamarack bog that is
supposedly completed and open to the public. No signs, no new trails that I
saw. Wasn't on the map at the trailhead, either. Anyone know anything about
this? Where does the trail to bog start?
