| Wingstem was blooming on both sides of the trails. It is a member of the Aster family, and an important plant for bees. |
 |
| We also noted many beautiful spiders and their webs, including this Garden Spider. |
Other birds seen include Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Chimney Swift, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, American Robin, Chipping Sparrow, Brown Thrasher, Carolina Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse. Other birders in the area reported Magnolia and Black-throated Green Warblers.
