Sunday October 8, 2006 Sessions Woods Burlington, CT

Just a very nice 2.5 mile walk through some really beautiful wooded lands. We saw quite a few chipmunks, many types of birds (the eastern towhee to name one) I am almost positive I saw juncos both Saturday and Sunday.... in fact I think I saw them the last time we were in the woods as well.

There was an area where they placed logs to slow the flow of a steam, it was a resting place for small native brook trout, another cool thing we were able to see along the way. On the way out we stopped and climbed the fire tower for what was a pretty good view as well as the waterfall which was little more then a trickle because of the beaver dams. There was a Tree ID trail we took back that was rather fun and interesting to explore. Hunting for the smallest and largest acorn along the way became the game of the day though I don't think we ever decided who won in the end.

Here I share some information about Sessions Woods, a place we will most definitely visit again probably in the summer to see the osprey nesting.
