The trail is a great place for birding enthusiasts, with swallow-tailed kites soaring aloft and pileated woodpeckers skimming from tree to tree. If you listen closely, you may hear the soft buzzing of bumblebees as they collect pollen from the many varieties of flowers that grow in the forest. But don’t worry, these busy-bodies won’t bother you, they are more concerned with their work. The trail is host to several unique flowering shrubs, like sparkleberry, little bell-shaped white flowers or the colorful fetterbush with its down turned pink petals. In this flower covered bower you can smell the sweet fragrances they give off as their scent fills the air.
