The woods were quiet and it was a very nice walk. We didn&#8217;t see or even hear many birds in the woods but it was still really pleasant, if a bit warm and humid. We saw a butterfly that I didn&#8217;t recognize. Looking it up after getting home I found that it&#8217;s a red-spotted purple (<em>Limenitis arthemis astyanax<\/em>). I think it&#8217;s a beautiful butterfly in the genus Limenitis, the admirals and viceroy butterflies.<\/p>\n<p>When we were on the Burma Road over Widewater we saw a cormorant and then down on the canal we saw more butterflies and a few little grey birds in the cattails. At first we couldn&#8217;t figure out what it was but then one hopped up onto a blade in plain sight and we could tell that they were tufted Titmice (<em>Baeolophus bicolor<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>I would definitely walk this trail again.
