A really nice variety of birds in the Towpath Rd. forest along the canal this morning. See my eBird report below. To access this area, park at the west end of Towpath Road and take the first path on the right into the woods. If you follow it all the way to the end you will be at the east end of Puddlers Marsh. Walk back along Towpath Rd. to enjoy the marsh birds and raptors. Enjoy the day!
