As it turns out, the trails at the Intervale don’t house much wildlife. I heard just one lone bird call during my last visit (Which sounded like a chickadee, to my very untrained ear), which was in the afternoon of October 19th, on a beautiful 60 degree sunny day. As I was just sitting there, I noticed quite a lot of noise pollution. Evidence of the road that leads to the Intervale was quite prominent, as was the train bridge located about 400m downstream of my location. Planes were both visible and audible, which is enough to deter most humans, let alone birds and other wildlife. I didn’t see any animal tracks either, or any evidence of life from the river.
