Day Trip to the Woods



Barn Swallows filmed at Harriman State Park







...Accompanied by music from one of my favorite symphonies.  Note the descending fourth in the woodwinds that mimics a bird's call :)
A better quality version can be seen here.



Hike to Little Dam Lake, a section of the Appalachian Trail.









(If you know what the blooming bushes are called, I would love to know.  I can only guess that they are in the azalea/rhododendron family)

Beaver
Chipmunk
White-tailed Deer
Red-winged Blackbird
Ovenbird
Veery
Barn Swallow
