November 23 Field Trip Report


Sunrise by Carol Cooper

Sixteen people found fifteen bird species Saturday morning at Hemlock Crossing Park.

We began walking around the meadow in front of the nature center, then strolling some trails south and north of the Pigeon River before warming ourselves at the bird feeder viewing room. 

Thanks to Carol Cooper and Charlie DeWitt for sending photos of the trip.  If anyone can explain how the ice formed the patterns in Carol's photo below, we'd like to know -- there's nothing in those designs but ice.
