Habitat: Marsh, Willow, Alder or Dogwood Swamp, Hardwood Swamp, Southern Hardwood Forest.
Best Birds: The large swaths of forest (especially south of Lineville Rd) offer opportunities to find breeding Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Barred Owl, Yellow-throated Vireo, and Brown Creeper. Areas of alder swamp (especially north of Lineville Rd) occasionally host some of the southernmost breeding Golden-winged Warbler in the state, as well as Winter Wren, Mourning Warbler, and Northern Waterthrush. This is the last known location in the county where it is still possible to find Ruffed Grouse, although numbers are decreasing. Walking Lineville Road itself can be fantastic for migrants, and you will hear the songs of breeding Willow Flycatcher and Wood Thrush.
The impoundments along the small auto tour and trails should not be overlooked as they have yielded uncommon species of ducks with the common dabbling and diving ducks in spring.
