Birding - Huckleberry Swamp

Arrived at the parking lot of Huckleberry Swamp at 8 AM. Dave and Joan R. were already there. The Eaton Birding Society group eventually would number sixteen.

Linda B., our leader, choose to walk the trail counter clockwise. So we started at the boardwalk and ended walking in the woods.

The trail contains several fairy huts.

The boardwalk opens into a treeless area.

A resting spot along the trail.

The group formed a caravan. Led by Chuck G. we reconvened at Nick's for breakfast.

Another great day for birding.
