I saw a Fox run into the bushes, and a quick look around suggested there were some birds to be found.<\/p>\n<p>I spent about 2 hours on the lower trail and searching the pond near the river, and got some good results. I suspect there were many more interesting birds than I found, but the foliage gets thick in places, and the birds are quick. I&#8217;ll probably go back very soon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=38901\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-38901\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"
