Friends of Dragon Run Teta Kain Nature Preserve

Dragon’s Swamp flows through this bottomland forest and provides year round viewing opportunities for a diversity of passerines. Spring migrations produce an abundance of wood warblers, including the prothonotary warbler. Some warblers can still be found in the woods in summer along with other common woodland inhabitants. Fall produces fewer migrants than the spring, but Swainson’s and gray-cheeked thrushes can occur on the forest floor; occasionally Baltimore orioles can be seen in the tall sycamores and oaks. Winter months can provide productive viewing for common winter bird species as well as the variety of mammals that inhabit the site. Visitors are reminded to observe property rights and not to trespass upon adjacent private property.
