Geocache Description:

A multi-staged, choose your own adventure cache in an area with varying terrain titled "Brodie Park South" by the town of New Hartford. At the coordinates above, you will find the trailhead and two different sets of coords labelled by bird sounds.

"Bluebird of friendliness, like guardian angels its always near. Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch, who watches over you?" - They Might Be Giants

This is a "Choose Your Own Adventure" cache similar to what the original CO had in mind. At the trailhead, you will find the coords for "Tweet", which is the left side of the blue blazed loop {the original way to the cache with updated stages and coords}; And the coords for "Chirp", the right side of the blue-blazed loop.

"Tweet" has 2 stages and then the final, while Chirp has 3 stages. There is no need to bushwack, except for when you are nearing the final. After stage 2 of chirp, the gps will tell you you're getting further away for a few, but just ignore it and stay on the trail. After getting the final, you can finish the loop {recommended} or just backtrack. Please be careful when hiking along the wooden bridges, they can get very slippery! The Final is a lock-n-lock style tupperware container. GOOD LUCK, AND HAVE FUN!!!

Updated 06/12: Stages have been moved and/or adjusted, so dont expect to find it by memory!
