Birding at Rock Cut State Park

Last Saturday’s field trip was cancelled because of rainy gross weather. So I finally got to go birding today and it was so fun. I also posted about this on my local bird club’s website NCIOS.org. It is so cool that all the bird club members can write about their bird sightings on it.

We hiked at Rock Cut State Park. We got there around seven. Five birders went, including me. The five of us saw quite a few warblers and Dark-eyed Juncos(!).

It was kind of chilly but got warmer near the end of the hike and it was sunny. I had a great time.
