The most exciting thing for me today=2C while out birding=2C was discoverin=
g a wonderful ecosystem that I was unaware of. There is a trail that I bir=
d quite often at Oakland during the run of a year. Usually I find good bir=
ds in migration and do not venture far into the trail on either side. Well=
today it was pretty quiet and mother nature called. This particular trail=
was a good spot to go and I walked in further then I usually would to a sm=
all bridge. I noticed a brook there and looking up the road it looked like=
it widened. Curiousity led me further along and what should I discover bu=
t a wonderful lake with a nice marshy ecosystem and lots of dead trees clos=
e to the trail. A perfect spot for potential northern waterthrush and oliv=
e-sided flycatchers. I can hardly wait to visit there during the summer a=
nd cringe at all of the good birds that I've likely missed due to not ventu=
ring further in past years. =20
