Ludlow Reservoir

It was a nice trip with great weather, as eight members gathered for a sunny morning walk along the reservoir.   On the trip we spotted all the local woodpeckers except the Northern Flicker and were treated to very nice looks at Red-breasted Nuthatches feeding on pinecones along with the more common White-breasted Nuthatches.  We spent much time trying to decipher the many "confusing fall warblers" that were flitting high in the trees.  A number remained a mystery, but we did get a Tennessee, a Blackpoll, a Black-and-White and a number of Pines.  Total species count was 27.  There were also tons of squirrels (Grays and Reds) and chipmunks.
