GSBAS Tuesday Nature Walk 10/18/2016

Today's walk was at Avalon Preserve in Stony Brook. It was a gorgeous day for our walk,even though we could use the rain we still enjoyed the morning.

Avalon gives us a mix of habitats, woods and fields and a pond. On starting our walk we spotted a Wood Duck in the main pond. Further up the path at a small man made pond we saw some green frogs and some warblers. There were a couple of Yellow-rumped Warblers drinking in the stream.


Midway through the walk we were led to a Praying Mantis


At the end of our walk we were told of a Ring-necked Pheasant being very cooperative, and he was.


We all got very good looks at a very pretty bird.
