We started the day with a visit to an ANF trail alongside Brown Run.
The trail is a dirt forest road, but the stream is scenic. We were hoping for more wildflowers, but happy to see starflower in bloom.
We also spotted a smooth carillon flower. We have one that always returns at our home, but they are an interesting find in the wild. They are also difficult to capture in an image. This one was near to blooming.
Our next stop was along th boat launch area. Birding here can be good. Today we both saw an eagle, but I missed the image. A few ducks also passed our way. I finally captured a cedar waxwing within a small group.
While Ali was chatting with new cachers who happened to be at the same cache, I spotted a few megansers on the far shore.
I always enjoy the very short walk through the woods trail at the Kinzua Dam area. Despite all the dam visitors, this rarely has more than a few visitors.
Our last stop was at Anders Run. We've made this an annual stop to look for orchids. We found them, but unlike most years, there were very few. We were happy for the sighting.
