habitats. A brilliant Indigo Bunting was an early sighting. The trail yielded another 28 species, including Baltimore Oriole, Downy Woodpecker, Great Crested Fly-catcher, and even a Wild Turkey. Disappointing, however, was the absence of Wood Warblers, with only a Black-and-White Warbler spotted. From there, a quick scan of the Delaware River offered a Double-crested Cormorant and spectacular views of the Philadelphia skyline. The group then made their way to the Red Bank Battlefield Park.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-f63b9ff elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f63b9ff\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3049e50\" data-id=\"3049e50\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7297fed elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7297fed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe May 13 sightings list is on the Medford Leas Birders website at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/foxglovesystems.com\/Prototypes\/mlra\/MLBirders\/river-winds-and-national-park-deptford\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">mlra.org\/MLBirders\/river-winds-and-national-park-deptford\/<\/a>.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-5e58f47 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5e58f47\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4228746\" data-id=\"4228746\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-702a5c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"702a5c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The historic Red Bank Battlefield Park, which is part of the Gloucester County park system, is located a short distance north of River Winds, and separated from it by a large dredge spoils area.

The cannons of the two forts were intended to prevent the British from using the river to supply their troops in Philadelphia. Frustrated by their inability to destroy the forts by cannon fire, the British ordered 1,200 Hessian troops, under the command of Colonel Carl von Donop, to storm Fort Mercer. The Hessians were routed by the Americans, and suffering heavy casualties, retreated to their camp in Haddonfield. Von Donop was killed in the battle, and a monument has been erected where he fell. Eventually Fort Mercer, under relentless bombardment, was lost to the British after Fort Mifflin was captured in November 1777. A stalemate ensued and Washington withdrew his troops to Valley Forge. The rest, so to speak, is history.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten birders, including six Pathways guests, participated in the trip.
