FJ8 5/9/21
Date: 8 May 2021
Time: 7:00-9:30
Location: Green Mountain National Park Area 55
Weather: Cloudy ~45ºF
Habitat: In this section of the national park there was a large open grassed field. On one side there was a decline covered in woody shrubbery that led to a mostly deciduous wooded area. This area had little undergrowth with the ground being mostly dirt and leaf litter. On the other side was mostly birch and pine trees with lots of undergrowth and a small stream running through it. Throughout that side there were holes in the ground showing the ground water running underneath like a tunnel. The ground was mostly covered by pine needles, moss, and ferns. Most of the birds observed came from or were heard in the general direction of the birch and pine area.
Random notes: We did hear a Screech Owl towards 1-2 am, but I didn't manage to catch it on audio.
