May 31 - Zoar

Starting Weather: Hazy Sunny, 81°
Ending Weather: Light Rain, 80°
Distance Covered:  .79 miles
Time: 2:58 PM - 4:03 PM
When we left Zoarville, we discussed stopping somewhere else on our way home.  We decided to stop at the very next trailhead, which was Canal Lands park in Zoar.  We like it here, because we were here on January 1, and were so taken by the bridge and wooden stairs that lead down to the trail,  It looked very lush today since it had just rained.  We found a nest in the bridge and could hear birds in the trees, whose tops were near the top of the bridge.  A man on the trail told me he had seen two pleated woodpeckers while biking on the trail that day.  We listened for them and could hear them, but no sightings.  Ironic that someone flying by on a bicycle sees two woodpeckers and we slowly creep around and watch intently and nothing!
