What a beautiful day to be in Fowl Meadow. The mosquitoes were basically non-existent, and there were only a few deerflies in the more than five hours that I was birding here. There is a fallen tree blocking the path about one-third of the way down. I'm surprised it is still there, seeing as I saw it there about ten days ago. Unless your in good shape, you may (like me) have difficulty getting through the obstacle. I managed it, but it rewuired my getting on my back to go under the low branches.
