The great weather streak continues. I went up to Saratoga with Howie for a couple of walks this afternoon. The first was at Saratoga Spa State park. Parked at the trailhead on Crescent Ave for the Hemlock Trail area. Followed all three marked trails (blue, white, and green), which looped through the mixed forest. One foot bridge had an odd collection of bones displayed atop the railing. Covered about 2.5 miles.
The second walk was at Woods Hollow Nature Preserve in Ballston Spa. Parked at the trailhead on Rowland Street. Followed many of the trails and roads through the preserve (yellow, green, red, blue). The highlight was the small pond which was starting to thaw out. A couple of ducks swam near the edge. The pine-needle covered forest floor was soft underfoot. Covered about 2.5 - 3 miles of trails.

Let me know how Howie makes out with his wildlife census.
None of the chipmunks have returned their census forms... so Howie has to go tree to tree to make sure they are all counted.
