Joining Jason were Ellen, Pam, Jean H. Tamara, George, Danna and Greg, Renee S, Tim Ned, Sally, Jean W., Amy, Rita, Renee R., Jo and Merle, Pauleah, Dianne and Tom. Jason led us west of the library to the property recently purchased by Mainspring with the ultimate goal of extending the Greenway to the rec park on the Georgia Road. We started on a woodland trail that was new to many of us. We passed through several plant communities, mainly depending on the acidity of the soil – from rocky open woodland with Eastern Red Cedars to our more common Oak-Hickory forests. Most of us then “bushwhacked” our way down to an open field which Mainspring is planning to restore to its original wetland state. It’ll be a wonderful place for our Greenway bird walks in the future! We saw many interesting and unusual plants, cicadas, butterflies and other critters. The birds were relatively quiet but we identified 21 species – including 2 Yellow-Billed Cuckoos (heard) and 6 Hummingbirds at the Jewelweed in the field.
