ebinmaine 67,516 #1 Posted November 13, 2022 Here's a pile o pics from Trina from a 3 mountain hike her and our friend did Friday in Crawford Notch NH. The whole reason for going to that particular place was to find the Gray Jays in the pics. They're a VERY brazen bird that will land immediately on a person's hand to get food. They had a GREAT experience with a small flock of the jays visiting for a bit on Mt Tom, then continued on to Mt Field then Avalon and back to the car. 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 8,324 #5 Posted November 13, 2022 Excellent - you had good weather for it. Those log Stairs" are not really steps at all as I recall - they are there to limit erosion and are treacherous to walk on when wet...!! The bird on the end or her fingers looks like it is saying "OK Lady, put the cameraphone away and FEED me !!! Bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bird on the end or her fingers looks like it is saying "OK Lady, put the cameraphone away and FEED me !!! Bill The stairs and steps built around here are usually done by the AMC. Appalachian Mountain Club. They're dual purpose of reducing erosion and creating a space that subconsciously directs people to stay in the same line. Keeps damage down. I find most hikers that spend a fair amount of time in the woods aren't actually that fond of them. They're absolutely more difficult to walk up and down for longer periods of time. But . ... They do work well to keep the environmental impact down to a good extent. On the bird... YES you are correct. They were very intent on gathering munchies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
