| Purple Finches and Vesper Sparrows dart from the
fortress
of twigs and branches along the forest edge; and in the dense cover
of the forest the echoing sound of a Downy Woodpecker
may be heard from all around.
Be on the lookout for such elusive birds as the brilliant
Scarlet Tanager, Northern Cardinal, Eastern Bluebird and the Indigo
Bunting. These are just a few of the species that reside
in the Buckhorn area. So be adventurous and listen to the world
around you as you enjoy the trails this year.
The Buckhorn area is also a natural wildlife refuge for some
of the larger species like the White Tail Deer which can be seen
from the roadside grazing in the fields and forest edges anytime
of the day.
Moose have also been spotted on a regular basis in the area, as
the hunting pressure in the area has been reduced the numbers have
slowly increased. With the introduction of Wild Turkey to the area,
they can be seen strutting along the edge of the roadside and along
walking trails on a regular basis.
With hundreds of miles of walking trails and forest to explore
you will have no trouble spotting wildlife in the Buckhorn area
so be sure to pack your camera.
