| 120 Miles by car, 2 miles by foot. Visiting: Tekening hiking trails, Nazareth Quarry, Trexlertown Pines, Middle Creek WMA. Species of note: none. February in the Mid-Atlantic, is, in a word: austere. I found Cackling Goose, Tundra Swan, Redhead, Greater Scaup, Horned Grebe, Rough-legged Hawk, Killdeer, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Long-eared and Short-eared owls, Red-headed Woodpecker, and Carolina Chickadee. Besting my personal 77 required a clutch Ring-necked Pheasant at dusk (that happened at Middle Creek, shortly after my vehicle was nearly struck by what I can describe only as a small fireball, which zoomed across the road in front of me. Still scratching my chin over that one....). | |||||
