All the types of green bird species in North America are found in all different habitats. These areas range from forest to wet areas and fields, from running streams to lakeshores as well as in mountain ranges.
It is not always easy to categorize a bird species by a certain colour. This is because every year, birds change from a breeding plumage into a non-breeding plumage and vice versa. In some cases, male birds of certain species, such as the Scarlet Tanager will change from a bright red plumage to a yellowish-green plumage throughout the fall and winter months and then will resemble its female partner. This is also seen in other bird species as well.
You are looking for my mysterious version of the “green bird” which is very close to the putting “green" and a “green" leafy tree…. oh, and my “green bird" is flightless
This cache is placed along the bike/walking path in the Hays Nature Preserve. This is a beautiful area and a great place to bike/walk year round. I have seen various wildlife, birds, and flowers throughout the year. It is also a nice place to come picnic on a sunny day. I hope you enjoy the area as much as I do.
The trail is a flat, flowing double track along the Flint River and running through sections of the Hampton Cove golf course. It has multiple bridges and is a great place for a family ride. The trail is shared with hikers, runners, and horses. You can find map at http://www.briartech.com/msmap.htm
During the winter, heavy rains often result in the Flint River overflowing its banks and flooding the entire area. So use caution if you are planning to come out after those heavy rains as access to the cache may be difficult or impossible in certain areas along the path.
Once you find my “green bird" please be sure to replace the container as you found it to give the next cacher the same experience.
Cache on!
