Subject: Colyer Lake Walk
Hello all,

We had a nice walk at Colyer Lake this morning, with 13 attendees. We
started with scanning the lake for ducks and swallows. We spotted a Common
Loon, Blue-winged Teal, Green-winged Teal, Ruddy Ducks, Red-breasted
Mergansers, and Wood Ducks. The swallows included Tree, Rough-winged, and
Barn. Next, we walked along Lake Road. Highlights along the road included a
very large flock of foraging kingets (both Golden-crowned and Ruby)
traveling with a pair of Brown Creepers. We had a Blue-headed Vireo
perched singing at the top of a tree, as well as a singing Brown Thrasher.

habitat, including old fields, young forest, and wetland. A network of many
trails loop around the property. Be prepared for some mud and wet grass. We
will look for a mix of resident and spring migrant birds. If rain is heavy,
we will cancel, but we will continue as scheduled with light rain. Drive 20
miles east on Route 45 from Boalsburg then turn left onto Brush Mountain
Road. Continue about 0.7 mile until you see a straight gravel driveway
heading back to the right, at blue & white sign #246, into old field
habitat. You can navigate in your GPS to 40.875564, -77.549939.
