Jenny Wiley State Park is a bird-lover’s paradise. I talked to the receptionist while we were there and she said during spring migration the place really comes to life. Speakers and experienced birders provide talks and field walks on the neo-tropical migrants stopping off on their way north, and extra attention is given to the warblers nesting in the park. Apparently American Redstarts nest all along Cabin Road and are a big attraction. She said you can even find Cerulean Warblers fairly easily.
The scenery is beautiful...no wonder spring
migrants like to stop off or nest here!
Looks like a sapsucker has been here...
This spring, I think we're going to head down for the spring migration. It will be interesting to see the change in the park. I wonder if as the temps rise, the solitude of the place changes.
Having the trails to ourselves was really nice.
If you go, make sure you bring your camera.
Photo ops are everywhere...and be sure to grab a map!
Wonderful photos of you and your family Kelly! I love the last one of you with the camera! It sounds splended and can't wait to see the spring migration photos, and yes it will be soon despite the snow you are getting. Have a great Sunday.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of what looks to be a fantastic place. I'll be keeping an eye out for your spring migration pictures.
ReplyDeleteHi, I am close in Location to Pittswood Birds in Kent, England. I have only really started birding over the last few months on a regular basis. Was looking at some of your lovely photographs. Regards Phil
ReplyDelete...thanks, guys! I hope we can get down there for spring migration. I'm looking forward to seeing all the warblers again.
