WFB 131 Field Journal 3: Forests

Date - 5/26/21
Start time - 7:14 am
End time - 12:02 pm
Location - Camel's Hump State Park
Weather (temperature, wind speed/direction, precipitation) - start: 72 F, 16 mph S, mostly sunny; end: 73 F, 15 mph S, mostly sunny
Habitat(s) - Starting out in the parking lot, I didn't see very many species but heard Black-capped Chickadees, Eastern Phoebes, and American Robins. As I moved up in altitude through the deciduous forest, I saw and heard Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Black-throated Green Warblers, Ovenbirds, Black-tailed Blue Warblers, Scarlet Tanagers, Red-eyed Vireos, and Blackburnian Warblers. I got closer to the alpine vegetation zone, with mixed hemlocks and birch trees, I found Hermit Thrushes, Wood Thrushes, and possibly a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. In the alpine zone I found Pine Warblers and a Blue Jay.
