April 30

This afternoon I went to the mouth of the La Platte River and hiked the Ethan Allen Hill trail. It was an overcast day, approximately 40 degrees and raining for the second half. Throughout the walk I passed through mostly a mixed deciduous and coniferous forest. Dominated by Hemlocks, Eastern White Pines, White/Red cedars, and some Paper Beeches. Most of the passerines seemed to prefer the coniferous canopy during this, possibly to shelter from the rain? I have not been able to take pictures due to the rain.
