29 June 2024
Early this week a gaggle folks drove north to move birding at Middle’s Content material, Beaver Meadows and Piney Tract in Warren, Woodland and Clarion counties. For 2 days the elements was once pleasantly cool and the sky was once beautiful. Right here are some things we noticed this week.
- Beaver Meadows Sport Space close to Marienville, PA
- Allegheny River as observed from Rt 62 south of East Hickory
- Outdated expansion hemlocks at Middle’s Content material
- A fallen tree utterly coated via moss. It was once lower as it blocked the trail when it fell way back.
- Taking a look during the bushes at Middle’s Content material
- A view of Piney Tract, SGL 330
- The Wall of Rocks on the Microtel parking zone in Clarion
Day after today we visited an excessively other habitat: the grasslands at Piney Tract, SGL 330. This scene is with reference to the place we noticed the clay-colored sparrow I wrote about on 25 June.
The Wall of Rocks:
We stayed on the Microtel in Clarion (great and new) the place I used to be fascinated with the Wall of Rocks that shaped one facet of the parking zone. It regarded spectacular at nightfall, lit via streetlamps.
The following morning it was once no longer so attention-grabbing. It seems this manner for the reason that excavated hillside is just too steep to mow. It’s landscaped with huge stones.
