Birding at Silver Glen Springs, Lake George Trail - December 24, 2015

There were so many robins in the trees here, at times it was hard to hear anything else!  It was such a fun place for birding today though.  Had to keep an eye out for bears along the trail, and I was hoping to see one, but only found some bear droppings.  That is okay, I was scared to find one too!
