Descripción
Backus Woods is a prime birding destination due to its rich mix of habitats, including mature Carolinian forest, wetlands, and meadows. The towering old-growth trees, dense understory, and seasonal vernal pools create an ideal environment for diverse bird species.
In spring, warblers like the Prothonotary Warbler and Black-throated Blue Warbler arrive, along with Scarlet Tanager and Wood Thrush. Summer brings nesting Red-shouldered Hawk and Acadian Flycatcher. In fall, migrating raptors and mixed flocks of songbirds pass through. Winter visitors may spot Barred Owl and Winter Wren.
This site is special for its pristine, protected forest, offering peaceful trails and excellent opportunities to see rare Carolinian species in their natural habitat.
