Bird Walk at Chilton Woods State Forest in Lancaster County

  • Chilton Woods State Forest (map)

On  May 14th,  9:00 a.m, Melissa Gross will be leading a bird walk at Chilton Woods on the Doghouse Trail (about a mile with one descent and ascent into a stream area). Possible sightings include - yellow, pine, black-&-white, blackpoll, yellowthroat warblers, blue-gray gnatcatchers, nuthatches, chickadees, titmice, red-bellied, downy, & pileated woodpeckers, hermit thrush, and brown thrashers. If you're willing,  hale and hearty, we may have enough people & be able to find a lead for the Henry Bayshore trail, which is longer and more rustic than the Doghouse Trail. We will have binoculars to loan out.
