Description: There is a bit of a hill at the start of the trail, other than that it is flat, level ground, most of it on a paved path. We will be checking the river for gulls, herons, waterfowl and Bald Eagles. There may even be a late Osprey. We will traverse a variety of habitats, with excellent chance for a variety of passerines, including late migrants and early arrivals, woodpeckers, nuthatches, corvids, goldfinches and others. Over the years we have seen foxes, skunks, deer, raccoons and rabbits too.
