LA Wilder Hikes - Iron Creek July 25, 2007

Dave and I hiked up the Iron Creek trail today. Once we got up to the Teanaway ridge we went east and stopped at the normal lunch spot. Then we continued down east until we hit the County Line trail and hiked along that trail for another mile before we turned back and headed home. Along the way I had another bird fly out from the bank along the trail and found the nest it came from. I was finally able to identify the bird as a Junco.
