Hi!
Just what part of the trail did you use to get such an impressive list?
Starting at Paper Mill, or somewhere else. I am familiar with that trail
and have never seen quite such a list on one day.

The eagle was flying up the river, and was my first for this trail.
The owl was resting comfortably in a tree, about 80 yards off the
path but in plain view of many walkers, bikers, etc., which didn't
seem to bother it one bit.
Also, a red fox ran across the path twice in the morning's early
hours.
