Description
Sugarloaf Mountain is a large, private forested area that is open to the public during the day. It is a great spot to go for nice long hikes. The forest is mostly upland and tall, so birding is mostly canopy and resident species - woodpeckers, chickadees, titmouse. Spring and summer have the usual migrants and residents (Great Crested Flycatcher, Scarlet Tanager, Ovenbird, Wood Thrush). Some of the higher areas have Black-and-white Warblers and American Redstart, and the rocky hillsides have Worm-eating Warblers.
At the entrance look for sparrows, swallows, and there is a small lake with waterfowl along Comus Road.
