Everyday Birds at Jennings Farm SGA


From 7:00-10:00 this morning I counted 28 bird species, none of them out of the ordinary, mostly on the northern portion of the Old Jennings Farm on State Game Area north of Bossett Road.  Lots of bird life!  This is definitely a place the club should take a field trip sometime.

I met a Gary Southard who knows the local area well.  He told me that there used to be three farm houses along the southern edge of the property all owned by the Jennings family and their kin farming these 600 acres.

These four pictures -- Cedar Waxwing, Common Yellowthroat female, Song Sparrow and wasp's nest -- were taken along the hedgerows lining the trail north from Mosquito Creek up to the woods.
