All along the trail whether hovering overhead or perched on a branch, there are many different species of birds. If there is a small bright yellow bird with a black cap, wings, and tail dipping between the trees singing "tee-dee-di-di" you are looking at an American Goldfinch. The "happiest of birds" feeds on dandelions and thistle seeds and remains in the area throughout the winter. The unmistakable Red-winged Blackbird is pure black with red and yellow shoulders. In the spring and early summer it can be found feeding on insects making it very beneficial to humans. It can be easily identified by it's gurgling "konk-la-ree" as it raises its wings. Also be on the lookout for the Scarlet Tanager, Cardinal, Canada Geese, various ducks and many more.
