We like the Wilbeth Road trailhead because of the swampy area just southeast of the parking lot. The area attracts a lot of birds, so we decided to try out our new equipment. We did see some small woodpeckers, but not a lot else today. An elderly couple stopped to ask what we were photographing, and gave us a short history of the area, including the fact that it has been used as a dumping ground. They said that it was supposed to have been cleaned up by now, but that some political glitches had kept that from happening. It was interesting because before we'd had this conversation, I hadn't noticed how junky the area looked because I was trying so hard to see the natural beauty!
