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.
