On Saturday, December 20th, I assisted with the Lock Haven Christmas Bird
Count with Route 3. This route was being split between myself and another
birder local to the area. I covered the following roads: Rt. 477 (north of
I-80), Brungart Road, Spruce Run Road, Pine-Loganton Road, Herman Road,
Rockey Road, Hopple Hollow Road, S. Sportsman’s Road, and Pepper Run Road.
I intended on birding along Cherry Run Road, however, a tree was blown down
across the road just before the Pepper Run-Cherry Run intersection. I was
both birder and driver for this trip. I started birding at 8:00am and
finished up at 12:00pm. No owling was completed and I did not venture out
on foot- much of the land I was driving through was either State Forest
Lands with iced-over trails or posted private property.
