Look for Ovenbirds and Hooded Warblers in the spring and summer and Hermit Thrushes in the winter. It's where the Kinglets hang out in the winter time and a beautiful walk in any season. There is an opening at the back between the old house and storage shed that takes you to a forest trail. Pecan trees here are a good place to look for Scarlet Tanagers in season. There are hedges around the meadow that is perfect for White-throated Sparrows and Juncos. The service road takes me to a meadow habitat where I find Bluebirds, Phoebes and Cardinals. Cedar waxwings swoop down in huge flocks to feed on the cedar berries in the winter. Brown Thrashers and Mockingbirds are there all summer. Prairie Warblers, Indigo Bunting, Blue Grosbeaks advertise territory during the spring. This is where the Eastern Red Cedars are kept busy in every season. At the last parking lot I follow the service road by the old field habitat. My favorite birding area in the park is at the main park at the extreme end of Cole Mill Road.
