Paunacussing Preserve

We joined a group from the Natural Lands Trust to tour the Paunacussing Preserve in Bucks County. It is approximately 20 miles from Foulkeways. A beautiful spot!
These wonderful woodlands have springs that give rise to the Paunacussing Creek, and were a great place to hear the birds.

Some of the wetland plantings. The strings and mylar are to keep the geese out.


The pond, which is being surrounded by wetland plantings. A few of the sightings I was able to photograph follow.
