Habitat(s) - Just from the parking lot, which was surrounded by tall grasses and some shrubs next to the road, I found Ring-billed Gulls, Eastern Kinglets, and Eastern Towhees. I started walking down the main trail along the large main field under the power lines and saw and heard Field Sparrows, a Northern Harrier, Yellow Warblers, Common Yellowthroats, Turkey Vultures, and American Crows. In the small wetland area around the stream under the power lines I found Blue Jays, Northern Cardinals, and Red-winged Blackbirds. I turned back down the trail and started in the other direction from the parking lot through denser shrubs and woods. Here I saw American Goldfinches, Red-eyed Vireos, Brown Thrashers, and Tufted Titmice. Eventually I came to the barn, which was surrounded by tall grasses mixed with spots of shrubs. In this area I saw Gray Catbirds, Chestnut-sided Warblers, Eastern Phoebes, Black-capped Chickadees, and Barn Swallows.
