Terry and I hooked up with our friends from the Tiadaghton Audubon Society this morning to do a little birding at Ives Run Recreation Area. We parked at the head of the 2.6-mile long Railroad Grade Trail, which follows an old Penn Central rail bed adjacent to Crooked Creek and walked quite a distance although not all the way. The weather cooperated and we had a nice morning with a slight breeze blowing.
In addition to the birds, we spotted a couple of deer, several cottontail rabbits, a chipmunk and a vole. There were several large splashes in the pond along side the trail, probably made by carp but impressive nonetheless.
