I hiked from Aspen Grove to Stewart Falls this morning. Besides being a beautiful hike, it had quite a few birds. The most active area were the conifiers at the start of the hike. Here I saw a juvenille Golden Crowned Kinglet, also there was an active female Hairy Woodpecker five feet from me. It was a fun bird to watch. There was also a Hermit Thrush in the same area. Those were the best birds of the day.
Here is a complete list of birds observed along the trail to Stewart Falls.
