Habitat: Northern Hardwood Forest, Mixed Coniferous Forest, Oak Scrub, Bottomland Hardwood Forest.
Best Birds: The Moses Creek Segment meanders through mixed coniferous and northern hardwood forest northeast of Schmeeckle Reserve, and the trail also bisects a sedge meadow. The wooded areas yield woodpeckers, flycatchers, vireos, Common Raven, Veery, Wood Thrush, and warblers. Virginia Rail and Sedge Wren can be heard calling from the sedge.
The Plover River Trail begins by traveling through scrubby fields which yield Willow Flycatcher, Clay-colored Sparrow, Field Sparrow, Lark Sparrow, Vesper Sparrow, Blue-winged Warbler, Nashville Warbler, and Chestnut-sided Warbler. Continuing through the mixed upland and bottomland forest segments can produce woodpeckers, flycatchers, vireos, thrushes, warblers, and Scarlet Tanager.
