I took a short walk Saturday on the Saucon Rail Trail. It was a beautiful morning and a great way to start a weekend!
There are some trees already starting to flower; from the inconspicuous red maple flowers, to the showy flowers of the cherries and magnolias. The big focus of the morning was to listen for birds, and even during my short stroll I was able to hear around 27 common species. Here is the list.
If anyone would like to try and meet up one day to learn to identify these birds, please let Josh and me know, and we can see about setting up a time and place to meet.
A red-bellied woodpecker is one of many species of bird that can be heard along the Saucon Rail Trail.
