~Ah, one of my favorites – Grasshopper Sparrow on the Appalachian Trail in Vernon Township, 6\/19\/15.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I met up with Kyle Dudgeon today after work and we hit a couple of spots. Our first stop was the Appalachian Trail – Pochuck Creek Boardwalk<\/a>, which was pretty much a bust. Swamp Sparrows were heard but only seen at a distance. Marsh Wrens were heard but not seen. We had distant looks at Wood Ducks and a Great Blue Heron that flew over a couple of times.<\/p>\n

So, from there\u00a0we headed over to the Appalachian Trail on Route 94 in Vernon Township. The first half a mile of this trail is a good spot for Grasshopper Sparrows, Prairie Warblers, and Field Sparrows. We did well with all three, getting very good looks in nice light.\u00a0I don’t think this is a great spot to see a large variety of species (we had just over\u00a010 tonight), but you can certainly get good\u00a0looks at a few.<\/p>\n
