I went 12.5 miles in and around New Michigan State Forest Pharsalia, NY
today focusing on the large stands of norway spruce forests. I also checked
out areas with native balsam fir and red spruce too , the tornado paths,
and cutover areas. I went generally between 1 and 2 miles per list to

dinged up in the process, maybe losing the last foot of tail or tearing
the belly midway, but today's skin is totally intact and also impressive

Our resident Great Crested Flycatcher just landed near our patio and, after
checking out a spot by the humming bird feeder, hopped down and pecked around

I just returned (9:30pm) from a brief recording trip to the North Montezuma
