The Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail is a favorite for the entire family. There is so much diversity on the trail. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
It’s a beautiful hike through the woods and then on the boardwalk that takes you over the swamp. This time of year, it’s pretty dry, but in the spring and summer it can be really wet.
It’s not too long or too strenuous and there is so much to see that it’s perfect for the whole family. It’s one of our favorite trails any time of the year.
This beautiful Cardinal was splashing away in this little puddle in the middle of the trail at Fort Hill. He was so much fun to watch. He was loving it! (Click on blog link for other photos.)
And then came along a Yellow-Rumped Warbler who joined him and then a Sparrow. They were all having quite the bath!
You can see how small the puddle is by the 3rd photograph. Way too cute! We must have stood there for 5-10 minutes watching them all.
Yesterday was a beautiful day for a hike at Fort Hill. The skies were sunny and the temperature was almost 50 degrees. (Click on blog link for other photo that shows him way high up!)
As we were heading back to the parking lot from our hike, I spotted a Red-Tailed Hawk way up high on the telephone pole. Wow! He was way up there! We stopped and clicked away while he stayed there for quite a while. Beautiful bird, don’t you think?
