Birding just north of Mansfield, PA

Terry and I went birding again this morning with the group from Tiadaghton Audubon Society. Nine of us were present on this particular walk. We were on a section of the Bike and Hike Trail that runs parallel to Route 15 on the northwest side of Mansfield, PA. The area is mostly edge habitat with a very large grassy field and some flooded areas were a feeder stream to the Tioga River has been dammed by beaver.
