Dunbar Cave State ParkBirding Seasons: Spring A Summer B Fall A Winter A
Site Description and Habitats Dunbar Cave is a 115-acre natural area in Montgomery County. Its main feature is a well-explored scenic and historic cave, which above ground is surrounded by an upland hardwood forest. A stream exits the cave and has been impounded to form a small lake that is inhabited by many fish, turtles, and other wildlife, known as Swan Lake. There are three trails on the natural area that range from a leisurely walk to a fairly strenuous hike. All trails begin and end at the visitors' center. Other park activities include fishing, picnic facilities and displays within the visitor’s center.
Bird species of interest: Spring and Fall Migration: Warblers, vireos, and thrushes can be common in season. Summer: Red-eyed Vireo, Summer Tanager, among other woodland birds. Winter: Canvasback and Redheads occur on the lake, Brown Creeper, and winter sparrows like Swamp, Field, Song, White-throated, and Fox can be common on forest edges. Year-Round: Canada Geese are plentiful on the lake.
